Parents- please take note of my Teacher Web Page, as I will change it weekly with classroom happenings, lessons/activities, and learning standards.

ERIN'S LAW

We are required by Erin's Law to provide lessons on sexual abuse and prevention education. During the months of December and January, Grand Prairie Elementary School Social Workers will be teaching 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 or you have any questions, you may refer to the handout that will be provided to them on the day of the lesson. If you have additional questions feel free to contact a School Social Worker – Morgan Bilthuis or Rebekah Munch.
