Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Policy

At iLEAD AV Studio, we are committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment for all our learners. During May, Mental Health Month, our goal is to ensure that individuals, friends, and families have access to the resources they need to support mental well-being.

Our Family Guidebook includes the following Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Policy:

The Governing Board recognizes that suicide is a major cause of death among youth and should be taken seriously. In order to reduce suicidal behavior and its impact on learners and families, the Director(s) or designee have developed preventive strategies, intervention and postvention procedures. The purpose of this policy is to protect the health and well-being of all learners by having procedures in place to prevent, assess the risk of, intervene in, and respond to suicide.

In order to initiate access to available pupil mental health services, contact the school counselor or visit https://ileadstudentsupport.org/counseling/.

Additional resources are available on our Mental Health page.

If you or your child is struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You are not alone, and seeking help is a sign of strength. Together, we can create a community where everyone feels heard, understood, and supported.

Current Families, Remember to Re-Register for 2025-26

Dear Families,

We are looking forward to an exciting 2025-26 school year! Starting this week, we will be asking all returning families to complete the re-registration forms. This will require several steps, and we will be sending you timely updates.

The “Why” of Re-registration

One of the primary purposes of the re-registration process is to ensure your child’s safety. We will be collecting emergency contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses, as well as information about your learner’s particular health needs that we may need to be aware of. We will also request signatures for forms that must be updated yearly, such as address verification and permission for your learner to use technology.

You will receive a link to re-register for the 2025-26 school year. If you have completed the Intent to Return and have committed to your spot for the 2025-26 school year, please refer to the attached video and help document for assistance completing re-registration. Please review all areas, such as household, learner, and parent. We request that you complete this re-registration as soon as possible to assist our staff with this process.

Thank you for your prompt attention to our upcoming re-registration requests as we anticipate an amazing 2025-2026 school year!

El “Por qué” de la Reinscripción

Uno de los propósitos principales del proceso de reinscripción es garantizar la seguridad de su hijo. Estaremos recopilando información de contacto de emergencia, incluidos números de teléfono y direcciones de correo electrónico, así como información sobre las necesidades de salud específicas de su alumno de las que debamos estar al tanto. También solicitaremos firmas para formularios que deben actualizarse anualmente, como la verificación de dirección y el permiso para que su alumno utilice la tecnología.

A continuación se encuentra un enlace para reinscribirse para el año escolar 2025-26. Si ha completado la Intención de Regreso y se ha comprometido tomar su lugar para el año escolar 2025-26, por favor consulte el video adjunto y el documento de ayuda para completar la reinscripción. Por favor revise todas las áreas, como hogar, alumno y padre. Solicitamos que complete esta reinscripción lo antes posible para ayudar a nuestro personal con este proceso.

Gracias por su pronta atención a nuestras próximas solicitudes de reinscripción, ¡esperamos un increíble año escolar 2025-2026!
