January 8, 2016 Dear Prairieview Parents and Guardians, Now that winter has officially arrived and the temperature and snow are falling, please remember the 5 points. Our students have outside recess on most winter days. It is important that they be dressed for the snow. In order to play on the field or playground equipment on snowy days, children must have “5 points,” which are snow pants, boots, gloves/mittens, a winter coat, and a hat. The blacktop provides a play area for children who are not dressed for the snow. Thank you for your help. Welcoming a new year provides a great time for reflection and thankfulness. One way we show thankfulness for one another at Prairieview is by embracing our FISH Philosophy. The FISH Philosophy is comprised of four major ideas: Being There for one another, Choosing A Great Attitude, finding ways to Play, and taking time to Make Somebody’s Day. We take time each and every week to celebrate one another with a FISH ticket.

As a staff, we would like to take this opportunity to celebrate all of the families at Prairieview for participating in the FISH Philosophy even if you weren’t aware of it. Thank you for Being Present in our school community, finding ways to Play by attending all of our extra events, Choosing a Great Attitude and working as a team with our school staff, and most importantly Making Our Day by sending your kids to Prairieview and allowing us to make a difference in their lives. If you would like to participate further in our building philosophy and acknowledge a Prairieview staff member, we invite you to fill out a FISH ticket available in the front office. Together we will continue to make Prairieview a great place for kids! Sincerely, The Prairieview Staff

Viernes, 8 de enero de 2016 Estimados Padres y/o encargados de Prairieview, Ahora que oficialmente ha llegado el invierno y la temperatura y la nieve caen, recuerde los 5 puntos de vestimenta. Nuestros alumnos tienen receso fuera casi todos los días de invierno. Es importante que estén vestidos para la nieve. Para poder jugar en el equipo de campo o infantil en días nevosos, los niños deben tener "5 puntos", que son pantalones de nieve, botas, guantes/mitones, un abrigo de invierno y una gorro. El área de asfalto proporciona un área de juegos para niños que no están vestidos para la nieve. Gracias por su ayuda. La bienvenida a un nuevo año ofrece un gran momento para la reflexión y la acción de gracias. Una manera de mostrar agradecimiento por el otro en Prairieview es aceptar nuestra filosofía de los nuevos peces (FISH). La filosofía de FISH se compone de cuatro ideas principales: Estar Presente el Uno Para el otro, Elegir una Gran Actitud, Buscar Maneras de Jugar, y Hacerle el Día a Alguien. Nos tomamos el tiempo cada semana para celebrar el uno al otro con un billete de FISH.

Nosotros, como personal quisiéramos aprovechar esta oportunidad para celebrar todas las familias en Prairieview por participar en la Filosofía de los peces (FISH), aunque usted no lo supiera. Gracias por Estar Presente en nuestra comunidad escolar, Buscar Maneras de Jugar por asistir a todos nuestros eventos adicionales, Eligiendo una Gran Actitud y trabajo en equipo con nuestro personal de la escuela. Y lo más importante es Hacernos el Día por enviar sus hijos a Prairieview y que nos permita hacer una diferencia en sus vidas. Si le gustaría participar en nuestra Filosofía de edificio y reconocer a uno de nuestros maestros o empleados de Prairieview, le invitamos a llenar un boleto de “FISH” disponible en la oficina. ¡Juntos seguiremos haciendo de Prairieview un gran lugar para nuestros niños! Sinceramente, El Equipo de Prairieview

Dear Parents and Guardians, Community Consolidated School District 46’s Curriculum must include Erin’s Law, an annual state mandated, age-­appropriate sexual abuse and assault awareness and prevention program for students Pre-­K through 12th grade. Governor Pat Quinn signed Erin’s Law in January 2013.

It is estimated that one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused by the time they are eighteen. It is also estimated that about 90 percent of the abusers are known to the child and include relatives, neighbors, babysitters, and family acquaintances.

Erin’s Law requires our schools to educate students on safe touches and unsafe touches;; safe secrets and unsafe secrets;; and how to “get away and tell today.” Children will also learn how to recognize child sexual abuse, and reduce their vulnerability and encourage them to report abuse.

The curriculum will vary from grade to grade, however it will be developmentally appropriate per grade level. In Pre-­School, students receive developmentally appropriate lessons presented by the Zacharias Center. In grades K-­4, students will watch pre-­approved videos that meet the requirements of Erin’s Law. Grades K-­2 will watch a video called “It’s Your Body: You’re In Charge,” and Grades 3-­4 will watch a video called “You Are In Charge of Your Body.” If you would like to preview these videos, please contact your building administrator. For grades K-­4, videos will be shown to students between January 11, 2016 and January 29, 2016. In 5th -­ 8th Grade, age developmentally appropriate instruction will occur during students’ health class.

For more information regarding Erin’s Law please visit: http://www.isbe.state.il.us/reports/erins-­law-­final0512.pdf Please contact your school administration if you have any questions or concerns about Erin’s Law. Sincerely,

Amanda August Teaching, Learning & Assessment Coordinator Community Consolidated School District 46 will provide an educational environment that maximizes the potential of ALL students to

be prepared for life’s opportunities while developing a lasting appreciation for learning.

correll.ellen@d46.org 1 de diciembre 2015 Estimados padres y tutores, El plan de estudios del Distrito 46 debe incluir la ley de Erin que es un programa requerido por el estado. El programa es de prevención de abuso sexual adecuado para la edad y conciencia de asalto para los estudiantes de Pre-­K hasta el grado 12. El gobernador Pat Quinn firmó la ley de Erin en enero de 2013. Se estima que una de cada cuatro niñas y uno de cada seis niños son abusados sexualmente antes de los dieciocho años. También se estima que alrededor del 90 por ciento de los abusadores son conocidos por el niño e incluye parientes, vecinos, niñeras y conocidos de la familia. Ley de Erin requiere que nuestras escuelas eduquen a los estudiantes sobre contactos físicos seguros y toques inseguros;; secretos seguros y secretos inseguros;; y la forma de "retirarse y decirle a alguien ahora mismo." Los niños también aprenderán cómo reconocer el abuso sexual infantil y reducir su vulnerabilidad y alentarlos a denunciar el abuso. El plan de estudios varía de un grado a otro, sin embargo, será apropiado para el desarrollo por nivel de grado. En Pre-­Escolar, los estudiantes reciben lecciones apropiadas de desarrollo presentados por el Centro de Zacarías. En los grados Kinder a 4to, los estudiantes verán vídeos pre-­aprobados que cumplan con los requisitos de la Ley de Erin. Grados K-­2 verán un video llamado "Es tu cuerpo: y estás a cargo de el", y los grados 3-­4 verán un video llamado "Estás a cargo de tu cuerpo" Si desea obtener una vista previa de estos videos, póngase en contacto con el director/a de la escuela. Para los grados K-­4, los vídeos se mostrarán a los estudiantes entre el 11 de enero de 2016 y 29 de enero de 2016. En quinto grado hasta octavo grado, instrucción de edad apropiada se producirá durante la clase de salud de los estudiantes. Para obtener más información con respecto a la ley de Erin por favor visite: http://www.isbe.state.il.us/reports/erins-­law-­final0512.pdf Póngase en contacto con el director/a de la escuela si usted tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud acerca de la ley de Erin. Sinceramente, Amanda August Coordinatora de Enseñanza, Aprendizaje y Evaluación
