Touching Policy

• Inappropriate touching can severely damage a child. Those who touch children inappropriately or allow children to be inappropriately touched will be dismissed.

• Appropriate touching is any touching that occurs on the child’s shoulder, arms, hands, back, or head. The inappropriate areas are: chest, buttocks, pelvis or lower back.

• Correct negative behavior (verbally correct the wrong

behavior. If behavior continues, refer student to DBC coordinator or Mrs. Dozier.
