Asbestos Notice

In order to be in compliance with the Federal Mandate concerning asbestos,
please take note: Test results conducted by the authority of the school,
authorized by the Education Commission, indicate the presence of asbestos
in the building. However, the level of asbestos is well below the minimum
standards by the EPA. The school asbestos plan is available in the school
office and reviewed every 3 years.

Faith’s Law

Faith’s Law Mandate against Sexual Abuse in Schools

On December 3, 2021, Governor Pritzker signed Faith’s Law, P.A. 102-0676 (HB 1976), into law. Faith’s Law expands the criminal definition of grooming beyond electronic communications to include written communications and acts committed in person or by conduct through a third party. The law also makes it clear that mandated reporters must report suspected grooming to DCFS under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. In addition to expanding the criminal definition of grooming, Faith’s Law includes several new requirements for schools and educators intended to prevent sexual abuse and misconduct in schools.

The law specifically provides that any violation of the employee code of professional conduct or failure to report a violation may subject an employee to discipline, up to and including dismissal from employment. As part of this law, we are sharing a copy of the Resource Guide to support you and your family should you need it. We are also including a copy of our Code of Conduct.
