Greetings Parents and Guardians,
The Main Street Academy (TMSA) shares a common and critical goal for our students to be safe and protected from all harmful things. In support of this goal, elementary students in Fulton County Schools will soon receive annual lessons designed to increase their personal safety & protection. The Think First & Stay Safe™ program is a research-based program that teaches specific personal safety education by way of interactive classroom lessons, classroom posters, role-plays and corresponding activities. Think First & Stay Safe™ enables students to take an active and necessary role in protecting themselves from harassment, abduction, bullying, exploitation, and various forms of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional). The Health Advisory Committee reviewed and approved this program and selected components that will be implemented as part of the elementary curriculum.
Due to the importance and sensitivity of this topic, you are being informed that this material will be presented to your child's class during the week of September 8th – September 12th of the 2025-26 school year. Please contact your child's School Counselor, Mrs. Smallwood at 404-768-0081 Ext. 108 or [email protected] if you have any questions. The materials can be made available for preview if needed. Think First & Stay Safe™ prevention lessons will be implemented for all Fulton County Schools K-4 students, unless an opt-out form is returned.
If you prefer that your child NOT participate in the program, please return this form or send an email message as soon as possible. Unless written OPT-OUT documentation is received by September 5, 2025, your child will be a participant in the Think First & Stay Safe™ program.
As always, our administration and counselor are available to discuss any questions you may have about the Think First & Stay Safe™ curriculum.
