We are excited to announce the launch of a new and important student safety initiative, We’ve Got Your Back: A Team Approach to Safety. In our ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, these modules will be implemented across KCSD classrooms to empower students with critical safety skills.
The We’ve Got Your Back program is designed to build on the knowledge and strengths our students already possess, promoting a proactive and supportive approach to school safety. The modules are based on five key principles—Consciousness, Compassion, Confidence, Courage, and Community—which help students develop situational awareness and emotional resilience. Each lesson also includes a closure activity and a mindful cooldown to ensure a sense of psychological safety.
Unlike traditional safety programs, We’ve Got Your Back focuses on strength-based learning without using fear tactics. It equips students with the tools to respond confidently and calmly in various situations, fostering a safer and more connected school environment.
These lessons will be incorporated into our curriculum over the coming weeks. We encourage parents to engage with your children about what they are learning and to reinforce the principles at home.
Thank you for your partnership in this essential endeavor to support the safety and well-being of every student in our district.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the modules, please contact the school or visit the district website for additional resources.
Together, we can ensure that every student feels safe, supported, and empowered.
