Good evening parents and guardians. This is Dr. Wyatt calling to inform you that the Good Touches/Bad Touches curriculum will be presented to the children in Kindergarten. The educational objectives are to have the children understand the importance of safety which includes the concept of the differences between good and bad touch. A letter has been sent home to describe the program in its entirety. Please fill out the permission slip and return this to your child's teacher. Thank you.
Students who plan to retake their photo should be sure to notify their teacher ahead of time so they can be properly accounted for on the day of retakes.
We look forward to helping students capture their best smiles! 📸
