Dear Families, The PowerSchool portal is now open to see schedules for this year. If your child feels they need to adjust their schedule, please have them reach out to Ms. Rhines at arhines@sau6.org. We do have a new school counselor, Halee Bertolami, who will be taking over the caseload of P-Z, and is working close with Ms. Rhines to get acquainted with Stevens High School. Ms. Rhines and Ms.Bertolami are available this week to work with families-please email or call first(ext. 1009) to set up an appointment. Once school starts, students will be emailed a link to a Google form to use to request schedule changes during the add/drop period. As we are currently operating with only two counselors, please have patience and understanding this school year. We are looking forward to working with your family this school year!

I would like to apologize for the lack of email communication that has occurred from Stevens High School. I am not sure how long it has taken place. I discovered today, August 12, 2023, that the Thrillshare notification system that I use to send out emails, Facebook posts, and school website info was never populated with emails. We have contacted the company, and they are working to get this fixed ASAP. The system is designed to send info to all the various social media, websites, and emails all at the same time. So every time I posted in the past, I would see it on the Facebook and school website I assumed that everyone was also getting the email. I am not sharing this as an excuse, just an explanation. Once again, my apologies, and I am in the process of fixing this issue. In the meantime, please go to the SHS website for all past and present communication. https://shs.sau6.org/ Sincerely, Chris Pratt, SHS principal.

Dear Parent / Guardian, During this challenging year and in compliance with New Hampshire SB282, school staff are working on teaching students about mental health and how to seek help if they are worried about themselves or a friend. We are again using a program called SOS Signs of Suicide. The program teaches students about this difficult topic and encourages them to seek help. We understand last year was extremely difficult for many students at Stevens because of a death by suicide, and this may be a sensitive topic for many. Thousands of schools have used SOS over the past few decades. Studies have shown that it effectively teaches students about depression and suicide while reducing the number of students who self-reported suicide attempts. Through the program, students learn: That depression is treatable, so they are encouraged to seek help how do they identify depression and potential suicide risk in themselves or a friend To ACT (Acknowledge, Care, and Tell a trusted adult) if concerned about themselves or a friend Who they can turn to at school for help if they need it Students will watch age-appropriate video clips and participate in a guided discussion about depression, suicide, and what to do if they are concerned about a friend. Following the video, students will complete a response slip that asks whether they would like to talk to an adult about any concerns. School staff will conduct brief meetings with any student asking to talk. Students will also complete a brief depression screening tool. This tool cannot provide a diagnosis of depression but does indicate whether a young person should be referred for evaluation by a mental health professional. We encourage you to visit www.sossignsofsuicide.org/parent for information on warning signs for youth suicide, useful resources, and some of the key messages students will learn. We include the following: An infographic for you to reinforce the ACT message at home An info sheet with resources A Google Slides presentation specifically for parents If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s participation in this program, don't hesitate to get in touch with me at cpratt@sau6.org, or any of our school counselors. Sincerely, Christopher Pratt, Principal
