IDecide
One area in which we would like to improve this year as a school community is with regard to substance abuse-particularly vaping products. To that end, we have partnered with Mass General Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health to institute a substance use cessation program, which includes a student survey.
Information about the program can be found here.
If you do not wish for your child to participate, you must fill out the opt-out here.
