April is nationally recognized as Child Abuse Prevention Month, which raises awareness and recognizes the importance of families, communities, and schools working together to prevent child abuse and neglect. Everyone plays a role in the protection of children from these types of acts, and the month of April serves as an important reminder to all of us that every adult is a mandated reporter.
Our students are our future, and their well-being should be our top priority. By raising awareness and actively seeking ways to prevent child abuse, we can create a safer and more secure environment for all children. Let us stand united in our efforts to protect and support every child in our school community. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to this important cause!
