Counseling Lesson Information from Mrs. Owings
As you know, we are using the Second Step program in your child’s classroom. This is part of our Olathe Counseling curriculum, if you would like to review the curriculum you can find it here: Olathe Counseling Curriculum. The Second Step program teaches children important skills for getting along with others and doing well in school. It also helps our school be a safe and supportive place where everyone can learn.
To help make our school even more safe and supportive, we are using the Second Step Child Protection Unit. In these lessons, students will learn two types of skills:
- Personal Safety – Students will learn important safety rules, called the Never-Never Rules. These rules include, never ride on wheels without wearing a helmet, never go in water without adult supervision, never use a sharp tool without adult help, never ride in a car without wearing a seatbelt, never touch guns, never touch a dog without asking the person in charge, never play with fire, and never cross the street without looking all ways for traffic.
- Assertiveness – These lessons will also give students a chance to practice asking an adult for help, telling and adult about an unsafe situation, and being assertive to get out of unsafe situations.
If you have any questions about the Child Protection Unit or the Second Step program, please contact Jenna Owings. If you do not want your child to participate in these lessons, please let Mrs. Owings know via phone (913-780-7362) or email (jlowings@olatheschools.org
