September is Suicide Awareness Month, an important time to reflect on how we can support the well-being and mental health of our students. This age group brings many emotional and social changes, making strong connections at home and school especially vital.

At this time our trained school counselors will be lightly addressing these topics via school announcements with our 5th and 6th graders in an age-appropriate way. Our discussion will focus on:

• Checking in on feelings: Encouraging students to recognize, process, and express their emotions in healthy ways.

• Asking for assistance: Reminding students that it is always okay to ask for help and teaching them how to report concerns to a trusted adult when they or a friend need support.

• Building inclusion and friendship: Learning how to be a supportive friend, noticing when someone feels left out, and actively practicing inclusion.

We encourage you to continue these conversations at home. Asking your child how they are doing, listening without judgment, and keeping open lines of communication can make a meaningful difference.

If you ever feel your child is struggling or if you have any questions about the resources available at school, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counseling team.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students safe, supported, and connected.
