September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and to support our understanding of this topic, Mr. Gustavo Sagredo, Mental Health Consultant | Psychiatric Social Worker, will host a discussion so together we can learn:

• how to identify a child’s self-injury and suicide risk and how to connect them to the appropriate resources in LAUSD and in the community
• the importance of implementing a safety plan in reducing the risk of suicide and self-injury
• the importance of incorporating self-care strategies for ourselves as we support our children during stressful situations

After some difficult times, we’ve started this school year with renewed optimism, hopeful we’ll have a healthy & successful year. This Attendance Ladder may help you & your families keep on track toward a goal of perfect or near-perfect attendance. (https://www.attendanceworks.org/research/)

California State PTA urges all parents, teachers, members, advocates, and citizens to support Prop 31. Additional resources can be found here https://www.voteyeson31.com/get-the-facts.

In other words, if approved/supported by the voters (YES votes) this proposition would allow SB 793 to go into effect and make it illegal to sell flavored tobacco products in the state of California. A law that would protect the children and families of California.

The voter registration deadline is 15 days before Election Day and the registration must be postmarked or submitted electronically no later than October 24, so, register early! (https://registertovote.ca.gov/)

Since the passage of SB 793 in 2020, corporations that manufacture tobacco products like Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds have spent millions to delay the law, with the goal of stopping it permanently. 

Proposition 31 asks voters whether they want to approve or reject the law regarding flavored tobacco products that was already passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor. A YES vote means that you approve SB 793 and want to keep it. 

Parents who understand students’ rights can be more effective advocates for their children. Your PTA will be more successful, and plans will go more smoothly with a solid understanding of some basic laws that govern schools in California. It’s particularly helpful to be familiar with recent laws related to student rights. (https://capta.org/knowing-your-familys-rights-students-have-rights-too/)
