From the Principal's Desk

Hello my wonderful Theuerkauf Family! 

Welcome back from break. We are getting back into work mode and kicking off our last Trimester of the school year...yes, you read it right - last Trimester.  The year is flying by! We are getting ready to start working on planning for the upcoming school year and need your input, feedback. Just a few minutes of your time helps us design programs and goals to best support our students district wide. Please complete this survey that guides the development of our District’s three-year LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan) and informs the update of the District’s Strategic Plan. It’s important that our school gets your feedback by Friday, 2/28, on the LCAP (Local Control Accountability Plan) survey.

Representatives from the following agencies will be available beginning at 6:00 PM to provide information and resources: Allcove, Children's Health Council (CHC) Teen Wellness Committee, and Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC)

Please join us to hear from a panel of local high school students about their perspectives on mental health.  Students will give a short presentation and then answer questions including:

  • What do you think is important for parents to know and keep in mind as they guide and support their kids who might be demonstrating some signs of risk or are already struggling with their mental health?

  • What are some effective approaches and ways parents have been helpful in supporting you or your friends?

  • What role does social media play related to teen mental health issues, in general? What should the role of parents in supporting and protecting their child?

  • What advice would you give to parents with kids who have mental health needs?

All families are welcome to attend, although this event is targeted for parents and teens in grades 5-8.
