PREVENTION CURRICULA

To support students in the development of social skills, EBRPSS has chosen curricula which will be utilized in all schools.  Second Step will be used in pre-K through 5^th grades, and Too Good for Drugs/Violence will be used in 6^th – 12^th grades.  The grant currently employs five prevention curriculum monitors who assist the schools in implementing the curricula.
