Grades 6-8: Teen Lures Prevention Lessons |
|
We all share a common goal for our children to be safe and protected from all things harmful. Related to that goal, Senate Bill 401 includes annual age appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention for students in grades kindergarten through 9. The Teen Lures Prevention Program is a research based program that Gwinnett County Public Schools uses to teach the importance of healthy relationships and its connection to personal safety by way of class discussions, student handouts, video clips and corresponding activities.
Dr. Dana Edwards will teach the Teen Lures Prevention Program to students in grades 6-8 during the month of November. Parents, please be sure to read the email from Dr. Edwards which provides additional information about this program.
