The SSCD Staff are committed to supporting parents and students through all of life's triumphs and challenges in prayer and protective measures.
Protection Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for being our protector, our ever-present help in times of trouble. Your word says that you are faithful, you will not abandon us in what we believe we cannot bear. When we feel hopeless, you have promised that you will provide a way out so that we can endure. Grant us protection and guidance of these precious children. Give us the strength and wisdom to overcome everything that stands against them. Sustain us through your unfailing love. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
In this commitment, our staff will complete the four (4) hours of training in youth suicide awareness and prevention that is required every five (5) years for professional educators in school buildings serving students in grades six through twelve.
Our 5th and 6th grade students will participate in a yearly Safe2Say or S2S program concerning aspects of school and student safety including suicide.
Each employee and the parent/guardian of each student enrolled in SSCD School shall be informed of the youth suicide awareness and prevention policy, included in the 2022-23 student handbook. Our policy is also be posted on the school's website under-Parent Resources-Health and Wellness Resources.
