Kids in the Know: A Personal Safety Program

Beginning this week, the Gr. 4/5 classrooms will be participating in the Kids in the Know program, which is a abuse prevention and personal safety program. Mrs. Turner, the guidance counselor, will deliver the lessons due to the potentially sensitive nature.

Students in Grade 4/5 will have four lessons covering these topics:

• Safe adults, breaking boundaries and keep vs. speak secrets
• Common lures
• Home alone safety
• Online safety

The curriculum that will be used for all of these units is called “Kids in the Know”.  This curriculum is provided by The Canadian Centre for Child Protection.  Information about the program is available by calling The Canadian Centre for Child Protection at 1-800-532-9135 or at their website www.kidsintheknow.ca.
