5th grade students will have the opportunity to take part in the Flagstaff Unified School District Sexual Health Program at Knoles Elementary School in the month of May. Parents will need to sign a parent permission form to see whether to participate or not. State law mandates us to have a permission slip for every student.

FUSD works in partnership with local agencies to provide support for students to access mental health services. In 2020, the Arizona legislature passed "Jake's Law" which created a fund that provides uninsured and underinsured children access to behavioral health services when they are referred through an educational institution-otherwise known as "school-based referrals."
Our local agencies to provide services under this Mental Health Block Grant are The Guidance Center and Southwest Behavioral & Health Services. You can contact The Guidance Center by calling (928) 527-1899 or access information at TGCAZ. You can contact Southwest Behavioral & Health Services by calling (928) 779-4550 or access information at SBH Services.
Information about the Community Mental Health Block Grant is located AZAHCCCS.

We want your child to be as successful as possible at school. Success in school is not just about reading and math. It is also about knowing how to learn and how to get along with others. We will be using the Second Step program in your child’s classroom to teach these critical skills.
The Second Step program teaches skills in the following four areas:
1. Skills for Learning: Students gain skills to help themselves learn, including how to focus their attention, listen carefully, use self-talk to stay on task, and be assertive when asking for help with schoolwork.
2. Empathy: Students learn to identify and understand their own and others’ feelings. Students also learn how to take another’s perspective and how to show compassion.
3. Emotion Management: Students learn specific skills for calming down when experiencing strong feelings, such as anxiety or anger.
4. Problem Solving: Students learn a process for solving problems with others in a positive way.
