In response to the new Kentucky legislation (SB 65, HB 51) regarding suicide prevention awareness for middle school and high school staff and students, information letters have been sent to parents and guardians of students in Newport Intermediate School (Grade 6), Newport Junior High School and Newport High School. Students will be provided with suicide prevention awareness information from school counselors at each school. School staff members have also received suicide prevention training.
If parents or guardians have questions regarding the program, they may contact the school counselor at their child’s school.
