Dear Parents and Guardians:
This year, the West Islip School District has intensified its efforts to
educate students, parents and staff about the dangers of heroin use and
other forms of drug abuse. Toward this end, we have had multiple
assemblies and presentations by experts in the fields of medicine and
law enforcement, as well as by parents who have lost a child to drug
overdose.
Part of this initiative has included a COMPASS-sponsored survey
completed by sixth, eighth, and tenth grade students regarding their
personal experiences with tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana. This pamphlet
includes a snapshot of the results of this survey, along with other
articles and websites of interest.
It is my hope that this material will help you to initiate a
conversation with your child(ren) on this subject or to become more
cognizant of the danger signs. Thank you for your continued cooperation
and support.
