We are excited for the school Halloween parade and our Kindergarten Halloween party on Thursday, October 31. Please note this will be an early out day (1:10pm). We ask that you complete the fall permission form at the end of this email for your child at your earliest convenience.

The fall permission form also includes a question about attending the safety training on October 30. 

In accordance with Law 53G-9-207, Kindergarten students will be receiving body safety and child abuse prevention training on October 30, 2024. We have chosen to use Prevent Child Abuse Utah (PCAU) to provide these trainings.

Presentations will take place in each individual classroom, and will teach students how to recognize, resist and report all forms of child abuse, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. The presentations utilize a combination of class discussion, visual aids, books and interactive games in order to teach students safety skills. The curriculum is designed to empower and encourage students to speak up when they feel unsafe, and seek out trusted adults with whom they can discuss potential problems. The curriculum is graduated by grade level and is age appropriate. Younger students (K-2) are taught basic concepts that focus on teaching students to listen to their “uh-oh” feeling and seek out help from trusted adults.

PCAU’s curriculum is approved by the Utah State Board of Education and the Utah Department of Human Services.  If you would like to review the presentation, there is a printed copy at the front office of Q1. You are welcome to request it from the office to read there.

Parents are invited to sit in on presentations if they would like. Our classroom’s presentation will take place from 11:30-12:00 in our portable. 

Please complete the Fall Permission Form for our Halloween Party and Safety Presentation at your earliest convenience: Fall Permission Form
