The State of Illinois signed Illinois Public Act 097-1147, known as Erin's Law into effect in 2013. This law mandates all public schools to provide students with age-appropriate body safety education on a yearly basis. Tri-Point CUSD #6J has partnered with the Clove Alliance to offer these presentations to our students. Clove Alliance will be presenting to our students on Tuesday, November 4th.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
In compliance with Illinois Public Act 097-1147, also known as Erin’s Law, all public schools in Illinois are
required to provide age-appropriate body safety education to students in grades Pre-K through 12 each year.
To fulfill this requirement, our school has partnered with Clove Alliance (formerly KC-CASA/ISAS) to deliver
body safety education to our students. On November 4, 2025 trained prevention educators from Clove Alliance
will present in your student’s classroom.
Topics covered in this 6th-8th grade presentation include:
● What consent means and why it’s important in relationships
● Recognize when someone can or cannot give consent
● Understanding how to recognize and respect personal boundaries
● Building healthy, respectful relationships both in person and online
Clove Alliance has been providing school-based sexual abuse prevention education for over 30 years. All
content is presented in an age-appropriate and trauma-informed manner, with the goal of empowering
students to recognize unsafe situations and seek help when needed.
If you would like to learn more about the presentation content, please contact:

On Wednesday the junior high students all went to Starved Rock to learn about the ice age megaflood, Native and European settlement history of the rock, and to go hiking in the canyons amongst the autumn colors. They had a great time on a crisp day watching eagles and chasing waterfalls. When they entered the canyons for the first time they knew it was worth climbing all of those stairs. Several groups hiked over 4 miles to see distant canyons and high cliffs. We all had a great day out enjoying time exploring the state park.
