Good evening Ripley Middle School families. As required by Jamie’s Law (WV HB 2535) we will be providing Signs of Suicide education for students during the weeks of October 16th and 23rd. This training is offered to provide information on suicide prevention and awareness. Students will learn how to recognize behaviors which indicate that a person may be at risk for suicide and how to seek help. All students will receive the training; however, only students whose families returned permission forms will be screened to determine if they are at risk. If your child is found to be at risk for suicide, you will be contacted by a staff member to discuss the results of the screening.
