Erin's Law

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we progress through the 2024-2025 school year, I want to take a moment to share important updates about the continuation of Erin's Law programming within our school community.

Erin's Law requires that all public schools implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program. This important initiative aims to educate students on personal body safety and help them understand how to recognize and report any inappropriate behavior.

For the SY24-25 school year, our Erin's Law programming will be delivered as follows:

• K-2 Students: The program will be provided by the school counselor specific to each building. The content for these grades is designed to be age-appropriate and accessible to our youngest students.

• 3-6 Students: The program will also be delivered by the school counselor specific to each building. The content is tailored to meet the developmental needs of these age groups.

Additionally, please note that for students in grades 7-12, the Erin's Law requirement will be addressed at the junior high level:

• Grades 7-8: The program called "Play it Safe" will be utilized again this year.

We understand that some families may have questions or concerns regarding this program. We encourage you to reach out to us if you need further information or if you wish to discuss any aspect of the curriculum.

For families who prefer to opt out of Erin's Law programming, we have provided an opt-out form. This form can be accessed via the link included in this letter and is also available on our school website.

We believe that open communication between school and home is essential in ensuring the best possible education and safety for our students. Thank you for your continued support and collaboration.

Sincerely,

Lori Brown
