PARENT ANNOUNCEMENT

and potential messages it sends out on the subject of suicide. Please be sure to
read the attached letter and contact school administration if you have any questions.
Additionally, please know that KHIS counselors and administration are available at
anytime to assist. Click on this link and scroll down to attached pdf files to view
