Dear Parents/Guardians.
Lewistown Jr/Sr High students will have the opportunity to participate in a mental health screener. This screener is voluntary and will be used to help identify students who may need mental health resources. A link to access the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 will be sent to each student's email. Again, this is a voluntary screener therefore it will not be necessary to opt your student out. Please contact me, Serenity Wallick, with any questions or concerns.
