From our Counselors...
Dear Parents and/or Guardians,
We all share a common goal for our children to be safe and protected from all things harmful. Related to that goal, school counselors are required to present annual personal safety lessons designed to prevent sexual abuse. The Think First & Stay Safe™ program is a research-based program that teaches specific personal safety education by way of interactive classroom lessons, classroom posters, role playing and corresponding activities. Think First & Stay Safe™ enables students to take an active and necessary role in protecting themselves from abuse and exploitation. A committee of professional school counselors reviewed the program and selected components that were developmentally appropriate for elementary students and developed lessons around those concepts.
Due to the importance of this topic, I want you to know when and how you may preview the materials and when the counselors will be presenting this information to your child's class. To preview materials, please contact the school counselor for an appointment at 678-376-8500.. Previews end Dec. 20th. During the months of January and February our school counselors will offer the sexual abuse prevention and safety lessons to all K-5 students.
The following key concepts will be taught at each grade level: each grade reviews what was learned in the previous grade(s) and then learns additional lures or tricks. Please see the specifics below.
(Opt-out) Please write a hand written note if you DO NOT WANT YOUR CHILD TO PARTICIPATE in the Sexual Abuse Prevention Lessons.
Unless written documentation is received, your child will participate in the sexual abuse prevention and safety lessons.
