Drug Free Schools

     In the Snoqualmie Valley School District, we believe we have an important responsibility to our students to take necessary steps to prevent chemical use. Further, we believe that the use of chemical substances, including alcohol and other drugs, interferes with the learning process of students. Because the use of alcohol and other drugs by children and adolescents is harmful and illegal, we will not condone their use. We support chemical abstinence for all children and adolescents so that they can reach their full intellectual, emotional, social and physical potential. Additionally, we recognize that students suffering from untreated chemical abuse and dependency impair the educational environment by serving as a conduit of substances into the school population and by rationalizing substance consumption to other impressionable youth.

Possession, use , or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited on or about the school grounds and at all school-sponsored activities, whether at school or at some other location. A student who has been found in violation of these standards will be suspended, pending the results of a drug/alcohol assessment by a district-designated chemical dependency counselor. Compliance with these standards is mandatory.

Our district chemical dependency counselor is available to provide assessment and intervention services to all students and their families. Please call Thomas Tilton at 831-8100 for information and appointments.
