Attention grades 5-12 parents/guardians,
Next week our students have the chance to engage in the Lifeline program. Lifeline’s school program (formerly known as Pure Freedom) is a relationship education program for 5th through 12th grade students. The goal is to help students understand what real love is, how to set healthy boundaries in relationships both physically and digitally, how to identify abuse, how the human body works, and ultimately how valuable they are. Their certified educators have thousands of hours of classroom experience. See attached copy of the form that was sent home. Please contact Ms. Taylor, district counselor, with any questions! Attached is more information and an OPT-OUT only form!

La Plata R-II School District will be in session tomorrow, 3/17, with regular bus routes!
