The free parent information session, Cutting & Self-Harm: Suicidal & Non-Suicidal Self Injury, will be held on Monday, April 25, 6–7:30 p.m., in the Sheldon High School auditorium. Speaker Dr. Tiffany Brown, a licensed family therapist at the University of Oregon, will discuss the steps that parents can take if a child is cutting or engaging in other self-harming behavior, what it means, and where to seek help.

SHELDON COMMUNITY RESPONDER: A Sheldon Community Responder is a volunteer that responds to “alerts” sent by the 15th Night Coordinator for needs specific to SHS students that have not been met by internal school resources. These type of alerts would be for items such as clothing, shoes, small household items, food or bedding. A Sheldon Community Responder would receive a text message indicating a need. If the Responder can provide the need, they respond to the text message and work with the SHS Coordinator to secure and deliver the item. Contact Trista Neuman at Neuman_t@4j.lane.edu.

SCHEDULING: Dropping Classes: Friday, April 15th is the deadline for students to complete the Class Drop process with no mark on the transcript.

Students must obtain permission from parent/guardian and reach out to teacher before submitting a form. Please make sure that textbooks and/or materials are returned promptly.
