Safe Place is a national organization for runaway and homeless youth, or youth that are in crisis. Safe Place provides emergency shelter and basic needs services to youth that are under the age of 17. This program is not intended to take the place of calling 911. The Safe Place program is designed to help youth who may be experiencing homeless with immediate shelter, resources, and other basic needs. Youth can access the Safe Place program by walking into any designated Safe Place site located within the community. A Safe Place site is easily recognizable by the black and yellow diamond shaped logo that is typically located in the front of each building. Various sites in the community include all Quik-trip gas stations, libraries, police stations, local parks, and local schools. Youth can also use the Text 4 HELP number, which is 44357 to speak with a live counselor or to find a Safe Place site in their area. The goal of the Safe Place program is to ensure that all youth feel safe and are educated on resources that are available to them in their community.

Each student is assigned a device/charger/case that they can take back and forth from school to home. Students are responsible for their chromebook, charger, and chromebook carrying case. Students will be placed on the unclear list for any damaged/missing items during the school year. Students and parents acknowledge and will sign-off on our student device policy acknowledgement form that is being sent home via homeroom on the first day of school for all families. This form should be returned to the homeroom teacher.
