Erin’s Law 2024-2025

We are required by Erin's Law to provide lessons on sexual abuse and prevention education. During the weeks of TBD, Grand Prairie Elementary School Social Workers will teach a lesson in your child’s classroom about the "Think First and Stay Safe" program. The lesson in December will cover the concepts of "Using My Built-In Computer: Staying Healthy and Safe." The lesson in January will cover "Laws Help Protect Me: Kids Have Rights Too!" and "Listening to My Instincts: No Secrets."


Should your child have any questions, you may refer to the handout provided to them on the day of the lesson. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact a School Social Worker – Morgan Cole, Rebekah Munch

 

Bullying Presentations

The Second Step program teaches children essential skills for getting along with others and doing well in school. It also helps our school be a safe, respectful place where everyone can learn. We will also use the Second Step Bullying Prevention Unit to help our school be a safe and respectful place. Your child will learn specific skills to help stop bullying in the lessons. Students will learn how to:  

• Recognize when bullying is happening  

• Report bullying to a caring adult  

• Refuse to let bullying happen to themselves or others 

• Be a bystander who stands up and is part of the solution to bullying
