Los Cerros Middle School

As part of California Assembly bill AB2246, TODAY Ms. Brown will be teaching the Signs of Suicide (SOS) suicide prevention lesson in 7th grade core. You will receive an opt out email this week. Each year 45,979 Americans died by suicide making it the 12th leading cause of death, and the 3rd leading cause of death for ages 10-19.  AB2246, mandates that all local educational agencies serving students from kindergarten through the 12th grade adopt a policy on suicide prevention, also specifically addressing the needs of high-risk groups. 

 

Mrs. Mahoney will be teaching "A Friend for Life" (suicide prevention) in 6th grade core 12/16, and 8th grade core 12/9.  Here is the lesson outline. This is an age appropriate, asset based suicide prevention curriculum that focuses on students' strengths and support within their community and at home.  Did you know that suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds? 

 

8th grade families - The intra district transfer request window is open 12/15-2/15/25. The request form can be found here, after 12/15
