Wellness Screenings
- During November and December we will begin our annual student wellness screenings. For the past 12 years we have screened various grade levels for signs of depression and being at risk for harming themselves. We use the same program as all other high schools in Fairfax County – SOS Signs of Suicide. Please preview the following https://sossignsofsuicide.org/parent if you wish to learn more about the program. Our first screener will be with our 9th graders through their Health & PE classes during the week of November 15-19. A separate email will be sent out to all 9th grade families which will include more details and opt out options. Juniors will be screened in December with sophomores and seniors to be screened during second semester.
