Daily Announcements

Thursday, April 11th, 2024

Important Information:

  • April is designated as Autism Acceptance Month. Autism Spectrum Disorder presents as a multifaceted developmental condition affecting social skills, communication abilities, and relationships throughout an individual's life. Its impact varies in intensity from person to person. In the United States alone, there are over 5 million individuals diagnosed with autism, and as of 2019, more than 100,000 Coloradans have been identified.
    • During Autism Acceptance Month, it's crucial to go beyond mere awareness and actively promote understanding and respect for the differences among individuals with autism. Let's seize this opportunity to foster acceptance and inclusion within our communities.

 

  • Hey everyone, we want to take a minute to talk about something super important. Everyone struggles, even if it doesn’t seem like it. It’s OK to not be OK. Here at Kinard and in PSD, we care about ourselves and each other. We all belong here, and you are never alone. If it just feels like too much and you don’t know what to do, remember:
    • If you need support in school now, connect with a trusted adult or a counselor. Counselors will connect you to help.
    • If someone you know needs help, ask how they’re doing, listen to them, and connect them to a trusted adult or a counselor. If you’re not in school, talk to a family member or call or text 988.
    • As we mentioned, we have incredible counselors, Ms. Irvine and Mrs. Young to talk to, and we have a student wellness room that students can access.
    • Again, it’s OK not to be OK. There are resources and people available to help. You are never alone, there is always hope.
