Our Mission

To provide proactive comprehensive support to address students’ social, emotional, and educational needs. This happens with the help of parents/guardians, teachers and the community to help all students succeed in school and as life-long learners in our ever changing world.

 

 

Additional Resources and Contact Information

​Reaching out and asking for help can include not only the school counselor but other trusted adults and organizations for mental health or crisis support.  Many location and national resources are available for assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

 

Signs of Suicide Parent Portal


We are excited to announce that Caprock Academy is utilizing a brand new resource, the SOS Signs of Suicide Portal, as a part of our school-wide suicide prevention efforts. Log in to this free educational site for information on warning signs and risk factors for youth suicide, access useful resources, and to learn more about the key message all students will learn: ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell). You can preview the video your student will watch and take an anonymous online mental health screening on behalf of your child.
