The Signs of Suicide (SOS) Prevention Program was first implemented in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in 2018 to:

 Increase knowledge and adaptive attitudes towards depression and decrease suicide attempts and deaths by suicide;

 Encourage help-seeking behavior on behalf of oneself or a friend;

 Reduce stigma and reinforce that mental illness, like physical illness, requires treatment; and

 Engage parents/guardians and staff members in prevention efforts through gatekeeper education.

Students learn a three-step action plan (ACT: Acknowledge that you are seeing signs of depression or suicide in a student and that it is serious; Care for the student by letting him/her know and that you can help; and Tell a trusted adult or school-based mental health staff member that you are concerned about a friend). For the 2020–2021 school year, Mindwise Innovations, the company that publishes SOS, adapted the program for implementation in a virtual learning environment. Please take a few moments to review the handouts.

Student Rights and Responsibilities and Code of Conduct

 

In order to ensure a safe, productive, and positive learning environment, MCPS publishes two documents that help students, parents/guardians, and staff understand school rules and regulations; the expectations for student conduct; and the possible consequences for violating the rules. A Student’s Guide to Rights and Responsibilities is an overview of the rights and responsibilities students enjoy in MCPS and a summary of the laws and regulations that affect students. The MCPS Code of Conduct provides an overview of discipline procedures and protocols and the range of consequences students could face for violating various policies, regulations, and rules. The guide also discusses the MCPS philosophy to discipline. All families received a copy of these documents and are encouraged to review them with your child(ren). The documents are available online.  They can be found here:

Be Well 365

 

MCPS has launched a new initiative, Be Well 365, which will address the physical, social, and psychological well-being of our students. Students perform better academically when they are healthy in body, mind, and spirit.

 

Be Well 365 will work to ensure that students have the necessary skills to become positive members of the school and broader community; manage their emotions; build academic and social resilience; identify and access support for themselves or a friend; peacefully resolve conflict; and make positive decisions.

 

The district has launched a web page with more information on each component of this initiative. You can view this webpage here.
