NEW STUDENT TRAINING PRESENTATION AVAILABLE
All students in grades 5-8 were trained in how to recognize when a peer is in need of help due to being a danger to themselves or to someone else through the Safe2Say online training module. The Safe2Say Something program in Pennsylvania is being overseen by the PA Office of Attorney General. The program is designed to provide a resource for students to use to make anonymous reports in an effort to stop violent acts from occurring. Please visit the link below for more information about Safe2Say Something. If you have not completed the training for this program, please use the the buttons to the right to access our new slide presentation and exit ticket! |
