Okay2Say
On Tuesday, September 17, our
students had the opportunity to participate in an OK2SAY
virtual presentation. OK2SAY is a state-wide program designed to
empower students, parents, guardians, and community members
to confidentially report any tips related to criminal activities or
potential harm directed at students, school employees, or schools.
The primary goal of OK2SAY is to prevent harmful behavior before
it happens, ensuring a safer environment for everyone. We believe
this program is an invaluable resource for our community and
encourage you to discuss its importance with your children.
More information on Sexual harassment can be found on our website linked under student life-Student Resources. Below is the information also posted on the school website.
