It is already December! Time to get the snow pants and hot coco out! Enjoy this weeks Viking View! https://www.smore.com/zqus0

Dear Viking Parents, We have been running our weekly COVID-19 screening program for a few weeks now seamlessly. It is a low nasal swab test, and students are in and out quickly. Children registered for testing can even test at school before they are sent home for being a close contact and/or having symptoms. These PCR tests are picked up daily, as needed, and the results come back between 24-48 hours later. We can save you the hassle of finding a testing site and the correct type of test. You can opt-out of weekly testing, but still have this option, you just have to email Ms. Aulisa to let her know that you want to opt-out and register for the program. Please consider registering here: https://northshoreclinical.jotform.com/213005002851943 Call us if you have any questions. Thanks, Ms. Aulisa gaulisa@saltcreek48.org

Parents, although it may not always seem like it, your kids care about what you think! Studies have shown that teens do listen to parents; substance use is significantly lower among teens who believe their parents strongly disapprove of substance use.

Many teenagers believe that marijuana is safer than alcohol or other drugs. Teenagers may say, "it is harmless because it is natural," "it is not addictive," or "it does not affect my thinking or my grades." Research has shown that marijuana can cause serious mental health disorders and problems with learning, feelings, and health. To learn more about short and long-term effects of marijuana, visit https://www.aacap.org/aacap/families_and_youth/facts_for_families/fffguide/Marijuana-and-Teens-106.aspx @TheRedRibbonCampaign #DuPagePLT #LeaveYourMark #RedRibbonWeek #DrugFreeLooksLikeMe

Today our students at AMS “linked up” to share their “natural high”- or things they enjoy instead of choosing unsafe behaviors, including drugs and alcohol. Some our students natural highs include fishing, family, reading, sports, pets, drawing, crocheting and so much more! What’s your “natural high?” #redribbonweek2021
