SEPT 15 - OCT 15
According to the 2020 National Census, an estimated 18.7% of the American population identified as Hispanic/Latino. That is 62.1 million people, an increase from 50.5 million people in 2010, which equates to a huge 23% jump. The contributions of Americans of Hispanic and/or Latino heritage should be recognized and celebrated all year long—their history is our shared American history.
RESOURCES
The Alaska Safe Children’s Act (informally known as Erin’s and Bree’s Law) is made up of two separate pieces of legislation and went into effect on June 30, 2017.
AS 14.30.355 (Erin’s Law)
Erin’s Law Education is comprised of quarterly grade level lessons that are approximately 5-30 minutes long. 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.
AS 14.30.356 (Bree’s Law)
Bree’s Law Education is comprised of three separate age and developmentally appropriate bands for grades 7/8, 9/10 and 11/12. Each grade band contains 5 modules that are approximately 30-45 minutes long. It meets the full requirements for student training under the Alaska Safe Children’s Act, including requirements for Bree’s Law and Erin’s Law and is designed to help prevent childhood sexual abuse and teen dating abuse.
The five modules for each grade are organized around the following topics:
Module 1: Defining Healthy Relationships (30-45 minutes)
Module 2: Building Healthy Relationships (30-45 minutes)
Module 3: Defining Unhealthy Relationships (30-45 minutes)
Module 4: Warning Signs (30-45 minutes)
Module 5: Help and Support (30-45 minutes)
Classroom teachers will be sending home information regarding instructional lessons required by the Safe Children’s Act in the next few weeks (a minimum of 2 weeks prior to instruction). Lesson materials will be available for parent preview upon parental request.
The law also allows parents to choose not to have their child participate in the program. We encourage you to at least preview the lesson materials before making a decision. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Carroll at the front office (907) 742-3025.
