The school board officially approved the inclusion of mental health days in the academic calendar. This achievement belongs to all 144 of you who recognized the necessity of prioritizing our well-being. We will now monitor the implementation process to ensure these policies are applied consistently across all departments.

High school can get a little stressful especially with the amount of work received. As the years keep going on more and more mental health issues arise in teenagers making them anxious, stressed, depressed, the list goes on. As the times are changing so is the mental state of the many students around the country, therefore students should have a petition for schools to give an education in mental health and 1 or 2 mental health days a month. It would prevent overstress, give students time to be kids, and it even would help out the staff of schools by giving them the same amount of time to spend time with loved ones, and do whatever is needed to continue to teach a good curriculum. As well as the numerous other pros, it would also create a sense of mental health awareness which many schools are trying to increase because it is becoming a more pressing subject in the United States.

my school acts like we are robots. we are real people who get sad and burned out. let us have a day off for our brain please
getting up at 6am every single day feels impossible sometimes and the pressure to get good grades is killing us. i just need one day to breathe without falling behind
yes, and educating students about mental illnesses more and how they are normal and okay.
I also think that schools should educate students about what mental health is, how to recognize symptoms, and how to treat it.
We should have this because school is long and hard and everyone needs a brake in a while to examine their health
I support it!!
