Suicide Prevention
RUSD recognizes that suicide is a serious public health problem that takes an enormous toll on families, friends, classmates, co-workers, and communities. Suicide prevention is the collective effort of all adults that support and work with students, including parents/caregivers, families, local community organizations, mental health practitioners, and related professionals. RUSD integrates school-wide activities and programs that enhance connectedness, build community, contribute to a safe and nurturing environment, and strengthen protective factors that reduce risk for students. RUSD encourages families to use resources to build awareness and access avenues of support.
Families who are concerned about the wellbeing of their child are encouraged to contact the school principal. RUSD is dedicated to helping our families and students.
