SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK

As required by Jamie’s Law (HB 2535), all public middle and high schools MUST provide suicide prevention awareness information by September 1. Our school counselors will be visiting classrooms during PLS (Personalized Learning Support) time in the first or second week of school to introduce themselves and share this information. The presentation follows a pamphlet created by BCS that students will bring home (which you may view by clicking the link below). We will discuss warning signs, resources available, and how to access prevention resources for yourself or someone else should you need to. Please contact our school counselors, Ms. Jackson or Ms. Poe, if you have any questions or concerns.
