Erin’s Law
In September you received a letter letting you know that we will once again implement a child sexual abuse prevention program, which is the result of the passage of Public Act 097-1147, also known as Erin’s Law. Our social worker, Mr. Scheid, and our school psychologist, Mrs. Gancer will teach one age-appropriate lesson in each classroom along with the classroom teacher during the month of October. Below you will find a link to the original letter. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs. Gurga if you have questions.
