Content Warning: Some lessons may evoke strong or difficult emotions for some students. Each school has a plan in place for students in need of support and staff able to provide it on campus (school counselors, school social workers, and school psychologists). Make sure any staff facilitating the lessons know this and shares it with their students.
Please Note: There is no option to opt students out of the lessons. If you have concerns about any specific topics, please reach out to your child's School Counselor.
