Elementary Safe Touch Information

During the month of October, our elementary school counselors, along with a representative from First Light SC, will host discussions with our students on Body Safety. First Light SC is a non-profit agency that operates in Oconee and Anderson Counties and partners with school districts to facilitate student body safety discussions. The focus of this curriculum is to teach students how to identify safe and unsafe touches and teach students how to ask for help if they need it. All of our schools will use the same presentations across our district. We recognize that discussions on body safety are very sensitive, so please do not hesitate to reach out to your school’s administrative team or guidance department if you have any questions or concerns.  You can view the presentations at the links below:

Drive Smart Logo

Drive Smart is a driving course, taught by the SDOC School Resource Officers, that all students must take prior to driving and parking on one of our campuses. This four-hour course will be taught at each of our three high schools and is designed to help teens gain the knowledge to drive defensively. The Drive Smart driving course will take the place of the requirement for Alive at 25. A student may still take the Alive at 25 course instead of Drive Smart.  Cost of the course is $25.00.

Gavin's Law

Gavin's Law (H.3583) is legislation that makes sexual extortion, the act of blackmailing someone using sexually explicit images or videos, a felony offense and an aggravated felony if the victim is a minor, vulnerable adult, or if the victim suffers bodily injury or death directly related to the crime. In 2022, 17-year-old Gavin Guffey was a victim of sexual extortion, resulting in him taking his own life. 

The bill reads in part, "Local school districts shall collaborate with the State Department of Education, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the Attorney General’s office, as appropriate, to implement a policy to educate and notify students of the provisions of this act which includes adequate notice to students, parents or guardians, the public, and school personnel of the change in law."

Qustodio logoAs devices play an increasing role in children’s education it is crucial that we put safeguards in place. Your child already benefits from internet filtering technology which blocks inappropriate web content on their school-owned device. This is also mandated by US legislation.

As a district, we have gone one step further by providing each parent/guardian with a free Qustodio Parental App account. Qustodio is a valuable partner that prioritizes privacy, safety and rights of students and parents worldwide.  Qustodio will give you important insights into your child’s online activity on their school device. You can use it to review and manage activities on other devices in your home too.

 

With Qustodio, you are able to:

  • Manage your child’s screen time with the ability to pause internet access outside of school hours
  • Supervise your child’s online activity
  • Access expert advice via SDOC's Online Safety Hub
