Welcome to La Follette's AOD (alcohol and other drug) web page. This page provides information about prevention activities and intervention services at La Follette, as well as links to pages on the MMSD web site that contain a great deal of information on drugs, trends in drug use, and what parents can do to keep their kids drug-free. There are also links to other related web sites. It is our goal to work together with parents to help La Follette students make safe and healthy decisions about alcohol and other drugs.

There are many programs and activities at La Follette aimed at creating a positive school environment and preventing alcohol and drug use. For more information about our prevention strategies, click here.

We are continuing to develop a network of parents who are working together to keep student gatherings alcohol and drug-free through monitoring and communication with other parents. For more information about the Parent Network and to view the current directory, click here. 

La Follette Student Services staff provide professional support for a variety of student concerns, including alcohol and other drugs use/abuse. For a list of Student Services staff and their contact information, click here. 

If you have concerns about your son or daughter and possible drug/alcohol use, you may complete a Student Behavior Checklist.
