Like most schools, issues of teenage consumption of alcohol and substance abuse affect our community.  Our young people are at a crucial time in their brain development – second only to the brain growth that happens just after birth.  Not surprisingly, introduction of chemicals designed to influence the brain, are counterproductive to this development.  ISB continues to be a concerned community member regarding the choices of our students and their social behaviors.  One of the many ways we address these issues is through open dialogue with parents about the concerns.

On Wednesday, September 26th, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm in the MPB, we will host and open parent discussion regarding these issues.  We will be joined by representatives from the Freedom from Chemical Dependency group who are experts in current issues of substance abuse.  They will be working with our own ISB students during that week.  Please plan on attending this evening discussion.
