Introducing TalkSpace - Free to ALL New York City Teens
"Teen mental health crisis is as complex as teens themselves, simple solutions don’t exist. But there’s one thing our therapists know for certain: “Teens are vividly clear in stating their wish for more support, attention, understanding—simply, ‘to have someone in their corner’ or ‘have their back’,” says Elizabeth Keohan, LCSW-C, LICSW. “This is not ambiguous—teens say it routinely. Their wish amid frustrations is to be heard, but also for someone to take the time to understand."

3. We will call the parents/guardians at the phone numbers in the Student Profile account to confirm your child is allowed to leave early. We cannot allow students to leave early without contacting a parent/guardian.
4. Have your child come back to room 135 when it is time for them to leave to pick up the completed Early Excuse Form.
We are unable to send a student home alone if they are sick. If a student is sick an adult 18 years or older must pick up the child.
Questions? Contact your child's counselor.
If your child is sick, they MUST go to the Nurse in Room 139. A parent/guardian must pick up a sick child. A sick child will not be allowed to leave by themselves.
