The Cecil County Public School system provides lessons for students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade to educate about stranger safety, personal boundaries and privacy, inappropriate and appropriate touches, and how to identify when and who to go to for help when they feel unsafe. These units are what is called, “The Personal Safety curriculum.” The lessons are scheduled to occur throughout the months of November-March. The following topics will be covered at each grade level:

• Stranger Awareness and Safety Rules (PK-5)
• "No, Go, Tell” Response (PK-5)
• Identifying Touches as Being Okay or Not Okay (PK-5)
• Good Secrets vs. Bad Secrets (K-5)
• Examples of Lures (1-5)
• The “Uh-oh” Feeling (2-5)
• Internet Safety Rules (2-5)
• Personal Safety Rules (3-5)
• Personal Safety Vocabulary (4-5)
• Communication Styles (5)

If you would like to view or discuss the Personal Safety curriculum, or opt your child out of these lessons, please contact Mrs. Kennedy at 410-996-6220, no later than November 4th.
