Dear Cool Cat Families,
On behalf of LGUSD, I would like to inform you of a very special parent information meeting being held in the Fisher Middle School Library
tomorrow evening, October 4, 2018, at 6:30 PM
. Erin’s Law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades pre-K through 12. In response to Erin’s Law, the Los Gatos Union School District will be hosting a program called,
Be Seen and Heard©
- a prevention oriented child sexual abuse program, for all students. This program is designed to create an age-appropriate, safe and engaging environment where students will learn about the difference between safe and unsafe touch, and the importance of having trusted heroes.
Parents are invited to attend this special information meeting to preview the concepts of the Be Seen and Heard© program prior to the schools holding the presentations. Victor Pacini, author and creator of this program, will be available for questions. In January 2019, Mr. Pacini will be conducting assemblies at all school sites in Los Gatos Union School District. For more information, please visit
www.VictorPacini.com
Your children are amazing and I’m grateful to be at Daves Avenue. Thank you for trusting our staff with your most prized possessions. I hope October is off to a wonderful start for you!
Kind Regards,
Principal, Daves Avenue Elementary School
