Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
This letter is to let you know that your child’s class will be receiving age-appropriate lessons on child sexual abuse and assault prevention education as required under the state’s Alaska Safe Children’s Act (Erin’s Law).
Erin’s Law Education is comprised of quarterly grade level lessons will be taught during the Health classes. Combined, these lessons meet the full requirements for student training under the Alaska Safe Children’s Act, Erin’s Law, and are designed to help prevent childhood sexual abuse. These lessons will be presented in a non-threatening way, along with the skills needed for self-protection and will be handled in a sensitive, respectful manner.
Information about the quarterly lessons can be viewed HERE.
If you have any questions about the content of the program or if you wish to inquire about opting out, please contact our Health Specialist, Casey Berbig, Berbig_Casey@asdk12.org.
Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to provide learning opportunities to improve the safety and well - being of our students.
Sincerely,
Lori Rucksdashel

Chinook PTA!
We want to invite you to our first membership meeting on Monday September 12th at 6:00pm via Zoom. See zoom link below. Non-members can join the meeting too, but will not be able to participate in voting. We are looking at creative options to engage Chinook families in events this year and we need your help! Things to expect at our first meeting will be introducing our current board and members, approval of the 2022-23 budget and plans for this school year. We do have two vacant positions (vice-president and secretary), so if anyone is interested, let us know prior to the meeting. Please review attachments prior to the meeting.

There are two super easy ways to help raise funds for the Chinook PTA just by shopping.
- Hook your Fred Meyer/Kroger Rewards to Chinook PTA
- Shop on Amazon Smile supporting Chinook PTA. Details on how to do this, see attachments. The Fall membership drive will end September 12th. All new PTA members will be entered into a drawing for a NEW Chinook Beanie Hat! (it's not too late to get in on this, spread the word!)
The more volunteers the PTA can get they better we can support Chinook students and staff! If you have any questions, please let us know. chinookpta@hotmail.com
We hope you can join us!
