Harvey School District 152 has scheduled presentations for instruction of Erin’s Law, House Bill-HB 6193 (P.A. 97-1147). Erin’s Law states; “Programs should include techniques to teach children to recognize sexual abuse. Equip them with skills to reduce their vulnerability and encourage them to report the abuse.”
Harvey Schools and Tom Kress from Hi Esteem Coaching and Speaking are bringing a dynamic and powerful presentation to your students during the week of Oct. 2. This program teaches students the value in using their powerful voice by saying "STOP" and "NO", telling their own Personal Hero, keeping NO SECRETS and more. To learn more about this program ahead of time, please attend our Parent Presentation on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 6:30 p.m. on Google Meet.
More details are available on our website: https://www.harvey152.org/article/1246706
The Google Meet link will be shared on our website and social media prior to the presentation.

With the extreme heat during our first week of school, we managed to keep our buildings open and our students and staff members safe! We couldn’t have done it without the help of our community, our families and our incredible custodial and maintenance team.
Early each morning, Director of Buildings and Grounds Mr. Alfred Daniels checked each building and made the necessary adjustments to prepare for the day ahead. We’re so proud of everyone who was part of making our first week a great one!
