American School staff recently completed mandated reporter training. By law our staff is required to report suspected instances of child abuse, and the mandated reporter training helps us do that. Although we may not see visible signs of child abuse or neglect because we are a distance learning middle school and distance learning high school and do not see homeschool students in person, we want to do our part to ensure all children are safe. We will take appropriate actions if students contact us about potentially serious situations at home. Thank you for your understanding and for allowing us to serve you.
