Dear Parents,

As mandated by the St. Tammany Parish School Board, trained personnel will be presenting a classroom lesson on Child Sexual Abuse Prevention, Education and Reporting. Although the children will have a chance to talk about the topic with a guidance counselor during the class lesson, we would like to encourage you to talk with your child about this important issue. This might also be a good time to talk to your child about other general safety issues.

Materials to be used in the lesson are available at the school for preview. If you wish to preview the material, or if you have any questions, please call the school.

Thank you for your concern and interest in the safety of your child.

Sincerely,

Lesa Kabrich
Guidance Counselor
