Dear Parents and Guardians of JGW 6th Grade Students:

The JGW Counseling Team wants to share that we are preparing to begin our mental health screening in grade 6.  Our first round of screening is tentatively scheduled to begin in February. You can learn more about Haverhill’s School-Wide Mental Health Screening at this link Mental Health Screening FAQs. Screening provides the counseling team information that allows us to best provide comprehensive and timely support for your son and daughter if they require assistance.  After completing the screening, school counseling staff may reach out to you to discuss next steps and recommendations if applicable.

If you would like to have your child opt-out of this screening, please complete this form.

If you have questions or concerns and would like to discuss this letter further please contact your student’s counselor. 

Sincerely

The JGW Counseling Team
