🌟 Happy National School Psychology Week! 🌟 This week, we celebrate school psychologists for their essential role in promoting student mental health, academic success, and well-being. They provide vital support, help create positive learning environments, and build resilience in students. Let’s show our gratitude for their dedication and the positive impact they have on our schools.

Our teachers and principals have been hard at work, collaborating in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to strengthen our instructional practices! Through these dedicated sessions, we’re ensuring that our teaching aligns with what’s best for our students, focusing on the skills and knowledge that matter most. Thank you to our incredible educators for their commitment to student success and continuous growth. Together, we're making a difference every day!

Parenting with Eyes Wide Open: Hidden in Plain Sight | Thursday, November 21 at 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Northern Middle School's auditorium | Could you spot the warning signs of substance use in your teen's bedroom? The CDC reports that 50% of youth are using substances alone at home, making parental awareness crucial. Person County Schools and Insight Human Services invite you to "Hidden in Plain Sight," an eye-opening interactive experience that could help protect our youth. Step into a recreated teenage bedroom where everyday items may not be what they seem. This powerful demonstration reveals how common objects can be used to hide drugs, vaping devices, and alcohol, while educating parents and community members about current substance abuse trends and warning signs. Don't miss this opportunity to gain vital knowledge about youth substance use, modern drug paraphernalia, and concealment methods.
