Dear Parents and Guardians, Community Consolidated School District 46’s Curriculum must include Erin’s Law, an annual state mandated, age-appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention program for students Pre-K through 12th grade. Governor Pat Quinn signed Erin’s Law in January 2013.
It is estimated that one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused by the time they are eighteen. It is also estimated that about 90 percent of the abusers are known to the child and include relatives, neighbors, babysitters, and family acquaintances.
Erin’s Law requires our schools to educate students on safe touches and unsafe touches;; safe secrets and unsafe secrets;; and how to “get away and tell today.” Children will also learn how to recognize child sexual abuse, and reduce their vulnerability and encourage them to report abuse.
The curriculum will vary from grade to grade, however it will be developmentally appropriate per grade level. In Pre-School, students receive developmentally appropriate lessons presented by the Zacharias Center. In grades K-4, students will watch pre-approved videos that meet the requirements of Erin’s Law. Grades K-2 will watch a video called “It’s Your Body: You’re In Charge,” and Grades 3-4 will watch a video called “You Are In Charge of Your Body.” If you would like to preview these videos, please contact your building administrator. For grades K-4, videos will be shown to students between January 11, 2016 and January 29, 2016. In 5th - 8th Grade, age developmentally appropriate instruction will occur during students’ health class.
For more information regarding Erin’s Law please visit: http://www.isbe.state.il.us/reports/erins-law-final0512.pdf Please contact your school administration if you have any questions or concerns about Erin’s Law. Sincerely,
Amanda August Teaching, Learning & Assessment Coordinator Community Consolidated School District 46 will provide an educational environment that maximizes the potential of ALL students to
be prepared for life’s opportunities while developing a lasting appreciation for learning.

[email protected] 1 de diciembre 2015 Estimados padres y tutores, El plan de estudios del Distrito 46 debe incluir la ley de Erin que es un programa requerido por el estado. El programa es de prevención de abuso sexual adecuado para la edad y conciencia de asalto para los estudiantes de Pre-K hasta el grado 12. El gobernador Pat Quinn firmó la ley de Erin en enero de 2013. Se estima que una de cada cuatro niñas y uno de cada seis niños son abusados sexualmente antes de los dieciocho años. También se estima que alrededor del 90 por ciento de los abusadores son conocidos por el niño e incluye parientes, vecinos, niñeras y conocidos de la familia. Ley de Erin requiere que nuestras escuelas eduquen a los estudiantes sobre contactos físicos seguros y toques inseguros;; secretos seguros y secretos inseguros;; y la forma de "retirarse y decirle a alguien ahora mismo." Los niños también aprenderán cómo reconocer el abuso sexual infantil y reducir su vulnerabilidad y alentarlos a denunciar el abuso. El plan de estudios varía de un grado a otro, sin embargo, será apropiado para el desarrollo por nivel de grado. En Pre-Escolar, los estudiantes reciben lecciones apropiadas de desarrollo presentados por el Centro de Zacarías. En los grados Kinder a 4to, los estudiantes verán vídeos pre-aprobados que cumplan con los requisitos de la Ley de Erin. Grados K-2 verán un video llamado "Es tu cuerpo: y estás a cargo de el", y los grados 3-4 verán un video llamado "Estás a cargo de tu cuerpo" Si desea obtener una vista previa de estos videos, póngase en contacto con el director/a de la escuela. Para los grados K-4, los vídeos se mostrarán a los estudiantes entre el 11 de enero de 2016 y 29 de enero de 2016. En quinto grado hasta octavo grado, instrucción de edad apropiada se producirá durante la clase de salud de los estudiantes. Para obtener más información con respecto a la ley de Erin por favor visite: http://www.isbe.state.il.us/reports/erins-law-final0512.pdf Póngase en contacto con el director/a de la escuela si usted tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud acerca de la ley de Erin. Sinceramente, Amanda August Coordinatora de Enseñanza, Aprendizaje y Evaluación

Strategies for Challenging Holiday Situations
Holiday excitement and routine changes can be very difficult for children. This article focuses on three challenging areas families face during the holidays: giving and receiving gifts, managing holiday excitement, and understanding schedule changes. 1. Gift Giving and Receiving – The excitement of getting gifts can be overwhelming for children. Help them understand polite giving and receiving of gifts with these strategies. Involve Children in Giving – Let children help pick out and wrap gifts. By participating in the gift giving process, children become interested in seeing other people’s reaction to the gift. Even young children can choose between two gifts, put a bow or tape on the wrapping paper, and decide where the gift should go under the tree. Practice Receiving – Role play receiving a gift and thanking someone for it. Make writing thank you cards part of your family routine so children understand how to thank people politely for presents. 2. Holiday Energy – Holiday events often mean sweet foods and late bedtimes. Use the strategies below to manage energy levels and make bedtime successful. Keep Children Active – Sledding, walking, and playing games outside during the day can help children use their energy in a healthy and positive way. Keep children active during the
day so they will be tired at night making bedtime easier. Limit Sweets – Candy, cookies, and soda are prevalent during the holidays. These foods are high in sugar and caffeine. They cause children to be overly active and make falling asleep difficult. Set rules about how much and when these foods can be consumed and provide healthy alternatives. Stay on a Sleep Schedule – Even when children are not in school, a consistent sleep
schedule is important. Have children wake up and go to bed at a regular time. Plan morning events such as holiday shopping to motivate children to wake up and get ready for the day.
3. Holiday Schedule Changes – Many children benefit from consistent routines and have difficulty with change. Make holiday schedule changes less stressful with these simple tips. Use Visuals – Have a holiday calendar that lists events in writing, drawing, or picture format depending on the child’s level. Refer to the calendar to prepare children for the day’s events and help them understand what is going on and when. Involve Children – Let children add new events to the calendar. If there are important events the family must attend, explain why attending is important. If there are events that are debatable, include children’s input in decisions about attending the event.
