Introducing Mr. Pressley, Our New High School Theatre Teacher
Human Trafficking Education
Your child is being invited to participate in PROTECT, a human trafficking prevention education program, which is being provided through Human Trafficking Youth Prevention Education Demonstration Program through the Office on Trafficking in Persons. This prevention program was designed to empower students to know the signs of potential danger and trust their gut to report it to an adult. Follow the link below to learn more and accept or decline this opportunity. This can easily be done on a smartphone and takes no more than a minute or two. All you will need is your child's student id number.
