Please note that many of the lessons have a parent letter explaining the grade-level content. Parent letters will be sent home. The information in the parent letters is meant to be discussed between parents and students at home. The parent letter will not be discussed in class. Some lessons require a parent to sign and return the letter or activity page for documentation.
Parents have the right to opt their children out of receiving Safe Environment training. If you choose not to have your child participate in the training, it is required that you sign and submit the Circle of Grace Opt-out form for grades K-8 to Roslyn Landry in the Office of Child Protection.
Please email childprotection@mbsbr.org to request an opt-out form.
