Dear Parents,

We continue to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students.

• If your child has any food allergies, PLEASE INFORM US of their specific allergies and any necessary precautions.
• It's crucial that we have this information to create a safe environment for all students.

Our school cafeteria staff and teachers are dedicated to providing a nurturing and secure setting. We will take every measure to avoid allergenic foods, cross-contamination, and ensure proper food handling. With your cooperation and vigilance, we can maintain a healthy and supportive atmosphere for your child and their classmates.

Your child's safety is our top priority, and your communication on food allergies greatly helps us achieve this.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Mr. Soto

Dear Parent{s)/Guardian{s),

Many states, including Georgia, have recently passed laws with the intent of increasing the awareness of child sexual abuse. You may be familiar with this legislation under its more common name, Erin's Law. Erin Merryn has crossed the country advocating for laws that will increase awareness of this crime against children. One of the requirements of this law is that schools provide an age appropriate curriculum to all students relating to sexual abuse prevention. The purpose of these lessons is to provide students tools needed for personal safety and to provide a nurturing and caring environment open for disclosure of any incidents.

Marietta City Schools has developed lessons that will be taught at your student's age level, in a safe and simple way. Students in grades K-5 will receive the lesson from their school counselor, and students in grades 6-8 will receive the lesson from their PE teacher. The current high school Health course already provides this information to students.

If you have any questions regarding the curriculum please contact [PARK STREET] school counselor [Dr. Jennifer Zimmerman] at [ jzimmerman@marietta-city.k12.ga.us ]. For more information on Erin's Law, please visit www.erinslaw.org.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jami Frost Deputy Superintendent Marietta City Schools
