Youth Behavioral Health Urgent Care

Parents - If you’re worried about your child, don’t keep it to yourself. It can feel really vulnerable as a parent to ask for help, but health care providers and school staff can help, and crisis lines can provide advice. And remember – it’s safe to ask if someone is thinking about suicide.

If you are in need of clothing, you can tell your counselor what clothing you need (sizes, styles, etc), and a volunteer will shop for you. *** We also have a closet on campus of donated clothes, shoes and school supplies that students can shop at when there is a financial need. The student’s School Counselor can take them to the closet to shop. 

Students can receive a grocery bag of food on Friday to supplement any food insecurities over the weekend. Just let your School Counselor know that your student would like to receive Pantry Packs. 

We have gift cards available for food, gas, and other essentials. Please let your School Counselor know if you have a need. 

Through InvestEd we can help with class fees, ASB fees and other school-related expenses. We can also pay for yearbooks. Just let your School Counselor know.

This website is such a wealth of knowledge - their book "Smart But Scattered" has changed the game in terms of how ADHD is thought of & ways to manage it. It also have a study group that centers around executive functioning. If you scroll up to the 'Resources' tab, you will find numerous informational supports - including one on task initiation...which is definitely an area of skill deficit for many students.

Wolf Time is embedded time in our weekly schedule for students to choose which class they would like to attend.  This provides all students the time and support to meet our high-expectations while maintaining school to personal life balance. The goal is to have all students choose a location to help them to be successful. This element of choice allows for students to attend a help session, make up missed labs, assignments or tests, have a quiet space to work on homework, or attend a variety of enrichment opportunities put on by our wonderful staff.  Wolf Time is considered a class at Eastlake and attendance and norms are enforced just like a regularly scheduled class.
