Domestic Violence Awareness Presentation



April 27, 2015

Dear Parent/Guardian:

          A former student of MMS will be coming to MMS to do a presentation on Domestic Violence for our 7th and 8th graders.  This student is now a senior at The Woodward School.  This presentation is part of a project that she is working on for her Gold Award in Girl Scouts.

          The presentation will include the following:
               1) Pre-Quiz
               2)What is dating abuse
               3) Types of abuse
               4) Abuse against women
               5) Abuse against men 
               6) Abuse in the LGBT community 
               7) What to do
               8) Why do victims stay
               9) Post-Quiz
               10) Video
               11) Q&A by a DOVE Inc. (Domestic Violence Ended) representative

To ensure the present and future health of our children, we encourage all parents to participate in the education of their children.  If you would like to review the materials, please call the school nurse.

            We strongly recommend that all students participate in the scheduled session appropriate for their grade level.  However, if you do not want your child to participate, you have the right to exempt your child by submitting a request in writing to the school nurse.

            Thank you for your cooperation in this important educational program.
                                                                      
Sincerely Yours,
