District 34 Math Program Information

My advice to young mathematicians: Don't be afraid to make mistakes! Don't be afraid to struggle! Mistakes are important. The learning is in the struggle. The more you struggle, the more you grow.

The Child Welfare Information Gateway website, https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/preventing/preventionmonth/ , states that this month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to strengthen families to prevent child abuse and neglect. Earlier in the school year, your child received information on body safety which covered boundaries, body parts, safe vs. unsafe touch, what you should do if you have a body emergency and when it’s ok to keep secrets and when you should tell someone about an unsafe secret. Before the end of the school year, all students will have a brief review of what was learned in the Fall of 2022 in accordance with National Child Abuse Prevention month.

The Committee for Children (provider of the SEL program Second Step) has created information for parents on how to have ongoing conversations with your children about body safety. The Hot Chocolate Talk campaign is a public awareness campaign designed to help families navigate conversations about child sexual abuse. Our research-based how-to guides and free online resources teach simple, age-appropriate body safety rules and help families create a sense of warmth and comfort when talking about serious topics.Click on the links below for more information on how you can have a “Hot Chocolate Talk” with your child today.

Early, Open, Often

Abril es el mes nacional de prevención del abuso infantil. El sitio web de Child Welfare Information Gateway, https://www.childwelfare.gov/topics/preventing/preventionmonth/ , afirma que este mes reconoce la importancia de que las familias y las comunidades trabajen juntas para fortalecer a las familias para prevenir el abuso y la negligencia infantil. A principios del año escolar, su hijo/a recibió información sobre la seguridad del cuerpo que cubría los límites, las partes del cuerpo, el contacto físico seguro frente al no seguro, lo que debe hacer si tiene una emergencia corporal y cuándo está bien guardar secretos y cuándo debe contárselo a alguien. un secreto inseguro. Antes de que finalice el año escolar, todos los estudiantes tendrán un breve repaso de lo aprendido en el otoño de 2022 de acuerdo con el mes nacional de prevención del abuso infantil.

El Comité para Niños (proveedor del programa SEL Second Step) ha creado información para padres sobre cómo tener conversaciones continuas con sus hijos sobre la seguridad del cuerpo. La campaña Hot Chocolate Talk es una campaña de concientización pública diseñada para ayudar a las familias a navegar las conversaciones sobre el abuso sexual infantil. Nuestras guías prácticas basadas en investigaciones y recursos gratuitos en línea enseñan reglas de seguridad corporal simples y apropiadas para la edad y ayudan a las familias a crear una sensación de calidez y comodidad cuando hablan de temas serios.
