The La Grande School District will be closed on Friday, October 13, 2023, for Statewide In-service Day.
Nearly one in five children in the United States will experience mental illness in their lifetime (source: Center for Disease Control). World Mental Health Day, honored annually on October 10, was created to raise awareness of mental health issues and mobilize support to improve the mental health of people around the world.
This year’s theme, “Mental health is a universal human right,” highlights the importance of global well-being in all aspects of governmental policy. The last few years have been taxing on the population, and many global citizens feel their mental health needs to be more of a priority - especially in those countries where so many are displaced or surrounded by wars.
In the United States, barriers to mental health services remain a significant hurdle to getting support. Advocating for equitable mental health systems for all will lead the path to positive global outcomes.
La Grande School District is committed to raising awareness about mental health and equitable access to quality mental health services.
La Grande School District partnered with Care Solace to support the well-being of students, staff, and their family members.

We love our Giant Volunteers! However, we are in need of additional adults to support the various tasks and activities during the school year. Would you consider looking into if there's something small or bigger that you can do this year? Remember - it takes a Village (or a School Family). :)
