Dear Parent/Guardian:
The
Douglas School Health Advisory Board along with the support of the Douglas
School Committee will be conducting its third “Mock Accident” scenario on the
morning of Thursday May 21, 2015; one day prior to the Junior/Senior Prom on
Friday May 22, 2015. This “Mock Accident” is presented to all students in the
junior and senior classes at Douglas High School. We hope that through the staging of this event
that the students will have a point of reference with which to draw upon while
operating or riding in a motor vehicle.
Nationally,
the statistics are staggering! Every day teenage fatalities occur as a result
of motor vehicle accidents. That’s 14 deaths per day, 415 deaths per month and
5000 deaths per year! All of us believe that as a community, we have the
responsibility to address the enormous problem of distracted teenaged driving.
With
the cooperation of the Douglas Police, Fire and Public Works Departments, we
will stage a realistic crash site along with the all too often resultant
consequences. Hopefully, this event will be an extremely moving experience that
our teens will remember for a lifetime.
The
presentation does not mandate attendance at this re-enactment by our
students. It is hoped that all will
attend but should they, or you their parent, not wish for them to attend this
presentation then we ask that you please sign the notice on the back of this
page and have your child bring the notice to main office on Wednesday May 20,
2015 or not later than first thing on the morning of the event. They will be dismissed from attending and
will have the opportunity to remain in the school while the event is taking
place. Also, please know that our Guidance Counselors, teachers and
administrators will be available to our students during and after this event
should they need our support.
Sincerely,
Kathleen A. Campbell, RN,
BSN
Kevin Maines, Principal
Junior-Senior Mock Accident Waiver of Attendance:
I
choose to not have my junior/senior attend the mock accident that is being held
on Thursday, May 21, 2015 at Douglas High School.
