The SEL theme for November is Social Awareness. APS Staff will focus on helping students develop their empathy muscle through lessons and activities. This month we also celebrate our school psychologists and the important work they do to help students thrive. In addition, all 8th and 10th grades are receiving a lesson from the Signs of Suicide program. The SOS Program is the only youth suicide prevention program that has demonstrated an improvement in students’ knowledge and adaptive attitudes about suicide risk and depression, as well as a reduction in actual suicide attempts. Lastly, read more about the parent support groups and trainings available, as well as the free and available to all, Cigna Student School Support Line.
