Screenagers Under the Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use. The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. Most documentaries on substance use focus on severe addiction. This film explores more common scenarios and interweaves cutting-edge science with personal stories, making it informative and entertaining for both young people and adults.
Thursday, November 16th from 7:00 - 8:30 pm in the Longmeadow High School Auditorium. The film will be followed by a Panel Q&A featuring a parent and student. A Community Resource Fair will take place in the lobby starting at 6:30pm. You can register for the event here: https://www.eventcombo.com/e/screenagers-under-the-influence-69153

Longmeadow Public Schools is pleased to provide the students and families of Longmeadow with a K-8 Student Handbook that articulates parent and student rights and responsibilities and serves as a disciplinary code of conduct. We believe that this handbook is a reflection of our deep commitment to establishing safe, supportive, and orderly learning environments where the expectations for staff and students are clear and widely understood. Additionally, we view this handbook as a reflection of the District’s firm and enduring commitment to creating schools that are welcoming, inclusive and free from discrimination, harassment and bullying. We hope that this document serves our families as a valuable reference and guide to the statutes, regulations, policies and practices that govern the operation of our schools.
The 2023-2024 Handbook is available on the WMS and LPS District Website under the Parents tab.
