  • It’s up 2U (Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drugs Prevention) – This game-based course is developed for sixth through eighth grades. Your students will explore the effects of marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, over-the-counter and prescription drugs. They’ll also see the consequences of using these substances.
  • The Real U – This course helps students in grades six through eight learn how to manage their moods, regulate emotions and relieve stress and anger. With the help of Lola, Wes the science expert, and Dr. D, master of emotions, students discover how their bodies generate their feelings and how those feelings, together with their thoughts and actions, cause their moods.
