Erin's Law (
OR Senate Bill 856) mandates that students in pre-kindergarten through high school receive age-appropriate curriculum relating to sexual abuse prevention four times per year. The purpose of this instruction is to help students recognize and respond to unsafe situations, and to provide them with the tools needed for personal safety. A letter about Erin's Law is being sent home with students' report cards this week. Please see our
website or talk to your school counselor for additional information.
