Speak Up, Be Safe Parent Preview. Camelot is partnering with Fairfax County’s Department of Family Services (DFS) to bring this program to Camelot students. The Speak Up Be Safe curriculum, a researched-based primary prevention curriculum for Pre-K through 6th grade, is designed to teach children how to identify abuse, how to identify and talk to safe adults, and provides five key safety rules children can follow to help adults keep them safe. The program also teaches students how to identify and build skills to resist all types of abuse including; physical, emotional, sexual, neglect, bullying, and cyberbullying. Parents are invited to preview this program on January 22 at 6:30 in the school cafeteria. More information, including opt-out information, will be sent home soon. This program will be delivered to Camelot students by DFS facilitators during the week of January 28.
