Violence Prevention Information & Resources for Parents & Guardians
We want to provide you with some resources in light of the upcoming release of Season Two of the Netflix series called 13 Reasons Why. We are sharing this information with you so that your family can make an informed decision about your children’s media use. Netflix will likely be releasing the new season at the end of this month. This series is rated for Mature Audiences (MA) and covers sensitive subject matters including school violence.

As a reminder, the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) has information online for parents and teachers on talking to children about violence. We also want to remind you that APS uses a comprehensive approach when it comes to health and safety. APS CARES about every student, family and staff member. We ask that you once again take a few moments to review the video on our website with your family and talk through concerns with your children.
As always, please let school staff know if your children may need additional counseling support. Thank you.
