A Note from the Front Office
Our Be RED program is in need of more gift cards to give to our students for their Respectful, Excellent, and Determined behavior! Every Friday we celebrate two students per grade for these behaviors. Popular gift cards are Starbucks, iTunes, and Chipotle.

Counseling Resources
Douglas County School District Counselors have teamed with Dr. Scott Cypers to create a video series to help parents understand how to help their children with Anxiety. This series will be ongoing throughout the remainder of the school year and a new video will be released every few weeks. These 20-30 minute video videos are designed to provide parents with an understanding of anxiety and provide some actionable tools to help their children. Dr. Cypers is a nationally recognized expert on child and adolescent anxiety and is the director of stress and anxiety at Johnson Depression Center.
Here is the link to the first video: Understanding Your Brain and How Anxiety Fits Into the Picture
