Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — plus Wolf Time — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Today marks the beginning of National Suicide Prevention Week. It’s a chance for all of us to come together and make a positive difference. This may be a tough topic to talk about, but it is important to spread awareness and check up on one another.
.
This week, our focus will be on raising awareness about the steps we can all take to support our friends, loved ones, and community members affected by suicide. There will be tables outside the cafeteria with information and handouts for students about prevention and awareness.
.
And this Thursday, we’re asking everyone in our community to wear the colors YELLOW or GOLD to show their support for National Suicide Prevention Day. This simple but powerful gesture will help raise awareness and demonstrate our school’s commitment to mental health and well-being. Thanks for your support, Wolves!!
