Below please find an important message for parents regarding a recently released video series and some reminders of upcoming events.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS: Netflix recently released a series based upon a 2007 young adult books titled “Thirteen Reasons Why”. I have spoken to several parents and educators recently and understand that this video series is quite graphic and rated for mature audiences. It is also very popular with teens and even younger aged students. Attached is guidance from the National Association of School Psychologist to assist parents/guardians in making informed decisions regarding viewing and suggestions to support follow-up conversations. 13 Reasons Why Guidance_FINAL.pdf Should you have questions or concerns, please contact your school administrator or counselor.
