Advisory Lessons: Health and Drugs

Families – this week and next we are having discussions with students in advisory about health, drugs and drug use among high school students. We encourage you to continue these conversations with your children at home. We are directing students to medical websites (e.g. WebMD) and news stories, especially those touching on the growing state-based legalization of marijuana. We of course want our students to abstain from all drug use, but realize that all high schools will see some percentage of experimentation given our teenage demographic. Our overriding message for students is that we want them to be healthy, understand the health risks of drug use, and reinforce the idea that changes in state law in no way make marijuana use legal for minors or change how we as a school treat drug use. Here are some resources we are sharing with students you can use as a starting point for your conversations at home:
