  1. Citronelle High School Parent Newsletter November 2013 Mobile County schools to offer free breakfasts for all students Beginning Nov. 1, all Mobile County Public Schools students will be able to eat a free breakfast. Alabama’s largest school system has just been approved for a federal program known as Universal Free Breakfast, which means any student – not just those who financially qualify for the free meals – can get a healthy, hot breakfast upon arriving to school. The school system will be reimbursed either the entire cost of the breakfast, or a portion of the cost, based on each student's family's financial situation. Mobile County Public Schools is the only district in Alabama to have all its schools meet the Healthier U.S. Schools Challenge by serving nutritious meals and emphasizing more physical activities Tips on Talking With Your Teenager about Drugs • Be absolutely clear with your kids that you don't want them using drugs. Don't leave room for interpretation. And talk often about the dangers of drug and alcohol use -- more than once or twice a year. • Be a better listener. Ask and encourage questions. Ask for your child's input about family decisions. Showing your willingness to listen will make your child feel more comfortable about opening up to you. • Give honest answers. Don't make up what you don't know. If asked whether you've ever taken drugs, let them know what's important: that you don't want them using drugs. 4. Use TV reports, anti-drug commercials, news or school discussions about drugs to help you introduce the subject in a natural, unforced way. 5. Don't react in a way that will cut off further discussion. If your child says things that challenge or shock you, turn them into a calm discussion of why he or she thinks people use drugs, and whether they're worth the risk. 6. Role play with your child and practice ways to refuse drugs in different situations. Acknowledge how tough these moments can be. Reminder: We will be closed on November 11 for Veteran’s Day, and 27 – 29 for Thanksgiving
