Health Services, Counseling Services, and Activities Permission Forms

Thank you for your prompt attention to the Health Services, Counseling Services, and Activities Permission forms. 

Completing the digital forms is the most efficient way to submit consent, and they provide our campus teams with real-time updates on each student's status, helping us serve your children and families more effectively. 

The best way to access the forms is on a computer as a mobile device might not allow you to see all of the features as easily. If you have already successfully completed the forms online, please disregard this reminder.

We appreciate your continued support in helping us comply with these important state mandates. If you need assistance with the Parent Portal, please don't hesitate to contact your campus registrar. They can provide your unique ID code, and we also have instructions for resetting your password, and how to access the forms once logged in.

Helpful Websites

This week, I wanted to share some helpful websites. The Parent Toolkit is a huge resource full of many topics. I have not had a chance to read all the articles, but this breaks topics down by grade level from Kinder to high school. A friendly reminder to please make sure you complete the counseling/health services permission form linked above.

Helpful websites 
  1. The Parent Toolkit - Many resources for parents of middle school students, including social-emotional information per grade level.
  2. Calm.com - website for guided meditations and relaxation, also available as an app for smartphones.
  3. Articles with Organization Tips: Keep Your Middle Schooler Organized

Student ID's

Students are required to wear their Student Identification Cards visible all day. These may be worn on a lanyard or on a clip worn on their shirt. All students should have received their ID last week. If your student has not, please send them to the library.

Replacement IDs: The first replacement ID will be free of charge. Following that, there is a $5.00 fee for replacements. Students can visit the library to receive their replacement IDs.

Please help your student find a place to store their IDs at home so they will not forget to bring them to school.
