This year we trained hundreds of our students to be a part of our Hope Squad Team.  This is a school based peer to peer suicide prevention program.  Our Hope Squad Teams are made up of students selected by their peers.  They are trained to watch for at-risk students, provide friendship, identify suicide-warning signs, and seek help from adults.  Hope Squad members are NOT taught to act as counselors, but are educated on recognizing suicide warning signs and how to properly and respectfully report concerns to an adult. The Hope Squads have been doing amazing things in our schools and are already helping our students.

We know that mental health concerns and issues don’t just end as we close our doors for the summer.  We want to give our community some resources for when a friend, child or neighbor needs help.  Here is some information that Hope Squad has shared with us.

If someone is in imminent danger you must call 911.  Warning signs would be if someone says, “I’ve decided to kill myself,” or “I wish I were dead.”  It could also be if they want to harm someone else.

If there is no imminent danger, but it is possible, you should still contact the police.

Hilliard PD – 614-876-7321

Dublin PD – 614-889-1112

Columbus PD – 614-645-4545

Indirect warning signs could be if someone says, “I’m tired of my life,” or “My family would be better off without me.”

Please, talk with your children and keep an open dialogue.  Please, call for help when you need it.  This is a concern we share with our community, and together we can combat this and get our students the help they need.

Hello 4th Grade Parents,

As a part of our district-wide One2One program, all students have an iPad checked out to them each year. In Grades K-4, students keep and use their iPad at school. Starting in Grade 5, students will be bringing their iPad home with them each night. Here is some important information for you to know about the program.

Loan Agreement:

In order for the student to bring the iPad home, you will need to sign the Loan Agreement. You can sign the Loan Agreement starting June 1 on Home Access Center. Go to http://homeaccess.hboe.org and click on Update Registration.

Equipment coming home:

Students will receive an iPad, protective case, charging brick and charging cable. The brick and cable should stay at home and students should charge their iPad each night before school. We also recommend that they charge their iPad in public place in the house, not their bedroom.

If the iPad has a problem:

If your child has a problem with their iPad, they should tell their teacher right away or go to the Media Center for support. If the issue occurs after school hours, they can do this in the morning on the next school day.

TPP (Technology Protection Plan)

If the iPad needs repair, the family will be billed for the repair unless you have the Technology Protection Plan (TPP). The TPP is $25/year and covers the device against all incidental damage or loss over $50 up to two times. You can pay for the TPP starting June 1 on Home Access Center.  Go tohttp://homeaccess.hboe.org and click on MyPaymentsPlus.
