Change to Chill Pre-Survey
|
|
Parents & Guardians -
Your students were emailed the following information about a pre-survey link regarding the Change to Chill program. Please encourage them to take it by this Friday.
Hello SLPHS Students-
If you have not heard about it, our school earned a Change to Chill grant from Allina Health. This grant enabled two students to do some training over the summer and come up with a plan for a 'Chill Zone' that is located in the Student Services Office.
We appreciate you taking the time to do this for our evaluation.
