ES Parent Workshop on Child Safeguarding
On Thursday, Jan 26th at 8:00-9:30 am in the ES MPR, there will be a parent workshop that will cover more in-depth detail about our child safeguarding unit being introduced PreK-Grade 5, as well as our ISB child safeguarding board policy and procedures that are in place PreK-Grade 12. Mark your calendars!
During the month of February in classroom guidance lessons in PreK-Grade 5, the counselors will be teaching 3 lessons about personal safety. This includes learning about what safe, unsafe, and unwanted touches mean as well as teaching rules about keeping safe in various situations. Examples may include traffic, fire, and street dog safety; what to do if you get lost; and the importance of asking before going anywhere without a parent, or accepting a gift from someone else.
