Parents: Action Needed for the 2025–2026 School Year!
New state requirements (SB12) mean parents must now give permission for certain school services.
Three quick forms will be coming home with your child this week:
1. Student Clubs – Parents must provide written consent before students can participate in any school-sponsored clubs.
2. Health Services – Nurses now require parent permission for care such as first aid, health checks, and screenings (except in emergencies).
3. Counseling & Support Services – Parent consent is required before students can take part in guidance lessons, goal-setting, or short-term support services.
Thank you for completing and returning these forms as soon as possible.
Proud Superintendent,
Mallory Marr
