As part of our ongoing Suicide Prevention and Sources of Strength program, Arapahoe will be hosting a blood drive and health fair on April 16th. Did you know that one pint of blood can save up to three lives? We need your help! If you are interested in donating, the sign up will be available during lunches in the cafeteria or in the activities office. Anyone 16 and older is eligible to donate. If you are 16 or 17, you need to complete the attached permission form before signing up for your appointment. If you are 18 or older, you do not need a parent signature, but it would be wise to let your parents know. The blood drive will be in the Aux Gym. The health fair will be during both lunches on the south patio. There will be several vendors focusing on prevention, wellness and mental health. Come by and see the health fair. There will also be yard games on the south lawn to promote healthy activities. If you have any questions, please see Ms. Zimmerman, Mr. Miwa or Mrs. Kuhlmann.
The City of Littleton is offering internships for students age 16 and older. If you are interested, please contact Ms. Bownds in the library or Mr. Wadsworth in the counseling center.

Dear LPS Parents, Please see the following resources from our Social, Emotional and Behavior Services office for tips on talking with your child about today's school closure. We are continuing to monitor the situation and our staff will be prepared to support students when they return to school. Thank you, Littleton Public Schools How to Talk to Your Children about the School Closing April 17, 2019 Be honest about the situation, but don’t give more details than needed. Children need brief, simple information that should be balanced with reassurances that their school and homes are safe and that adults are there to protect them. A way to explain to younger children might be: “The police are looking for someone who needs help because they are worried she might hurt herself or someone else.” Let your children ask questions. Give space to let them talk and listen to their feelings. Don’t be surprised if your children don’t have a lot of questions or concerns - many times children will quickly return to their typical routines. Limit exposure to details and media coverage. Adults also should be mindful of the content of conversations they have with each other in front of children, even teenagers. Continued exposure to media can increase anxiety and fear for both children and adults. Remind your children that there are many people working together to keep schools safe. When we return to school there will be opportunities for students to talk about school safety. All schools have mental health professionals and they will be prepared to support students. For more detailed information on how to talk with your child, please see that attached document or visit NASP.com.
Estimados Padres de LPS, Por favor, vean los siguientes recursos de nuestro oficina de Servicios Sociales, Emocionales y de Comportamiento para ver las maneras de hablar con sus hijos del cierre de escuelas de hoy. Seguimos evaluando la situación y nuestro personal estarán preparados para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes cuando regresen a la escuela. Gracias, Las escuelas públicas de Littleton Cómo hablar con tus hijos sobre el cierre de la escuela de 17 abril 2019 Sé honesto sobre la situación, pero no des más detalles de los necesarios. Los niños necesitan información breve y simple que se debe equilibrar con la garantía de que su escuela y sus hogares son seguros y que los adultos están allí para protegerlos. Una forma de explicar a los niños más pequeños podría ser: "La policía está buscando a una persona que necesita ayuda porque les preocupa que pueda lastimarse a sí misma o a alguien más". Deja que tus hijos te hagan preguntas. Dales espacio para que hablen y escucha sus sentimientos. No te sorprendas si tus hijos no tienen muchas preguntas o inquietudes, muchas veces los niños regresarán rápidamente a sus rutinas normales. Limite la exposición a los detalles y la cobertura de las noticias. Los adultos también deben tener en cuenta el contenido de sus conversaciones que tienen delante de los niños, y incluso los adolescentes. La exposición continua a los medios de comunicación puede aumentar la ansiedad y el miedo en adultos y niños. Recuerda a tus hijos que hay muchas personas que trabajan juntas para mantener la seguridad de las escuelas. Cuando regresemos a la escuela, habrá oportunidades para que los estudiantes hablen sobre la seguridad escolar. Todas las escuelas tienen profesionales de salud mental y ellos estarán preparados para apoyarles a los estudiantes.

We are excited the voters of Littleton Public Schools passed our local bond in November. Thank you for your support! As you might remember, a portion of the bond dollars were to be directed toward new furniture for all schools, three new school buildings, and the creation of a CTE/Innovation Center. As we prepare to refresh some of the physical aspects of education, we also want to think about a fresh approach to learning in LPS and what our students need to be successful in this rapidly changing world. We want you to help us create the vision for the future of learning in Littleton Public Schools. Please see the invitation and register for a Community Visioning Session. Your voice matters! Brian Ewert, Superintendent Beth Best, Executive Director, LPS Foundation
