Your child may be at risk from human trafficking without ever leaving your house. Most kids who are trafficked are not snatched from parking lots. They are found by traffickers online or trafficked by family or friends. Most trafficking occurs online. Washington D.C. and Richmond, VA are both listed in the top 20 human trafficking jurisdictions in the USA. It only takes the trafficker about a week to go from meeting the child online to meeting them in person. Trafficking starts with grooming - The trafficker creates a relationship with the child, so they can manipulate them. Traffickers will get close to the child with claims of love, giving emotional support, gifts, or money. Any child (any age, boys, and girls) could be trafficked. Traffickers will get information, photos, or videos of the child and use them to blackmail the child. Traffickers will work to isolate the child and keep them from telling anyone what is going on.

How To Avoid Being Scammed.
over 2 years ago, Page County Public Schools
How to avoid being scammed. Take the time to think before you react. Many scams try to get you to act before you think. Never give anyone your username and password. Some scammers will try to trick you into giving them this information. Never tell anyone the code that was texted to you. Using a code to complete your login is great, but no one should be asking you to tell them the code. Never trust companies that contact you unexpectedly. If you are contacted by your bank, credit card, or someone else saying there is a problem, contact them using the number provided on their website or card. Do not click a link that you are not sure about. The link might claim to be something important, but it could be trying to steal your information.

School Board Meeting
School counselors make a difference in the lives of students, each and every day. In addition to helping students navigate their academic journey and prepare for a career, school counselors can help young people develop as a whole — personally, academically and professionally.

What is A School Counselor?
Historically, counselors began working in schools to provide vocational guidance to those joining the workforce. However, the term "guidance counselor" no longer encompasses the broad scope of work and duties provided by today's school counselors. The role of the school counselor has evolved to become a central and important part of a child’s development and educational career. PCPS is thankful for our School Counselors!

Is it a scam?
over 2 years ago, Page County Public Schools
Is it a scam? It seems too good to be true. You won a new iPad! Free three-night cruise! You just won a $1000 gift card! You were contacted unexpectedly. They call, text, or email you when you did not reach out to them. There is a sense of urgency. They say it is an emergency, or you must respond immediately. You are asked not to contact the person directly, or to keep it a secret. Scammers have a better chance of fooling you if you don't talk to anyone else. You are asked to give money in an unusual way. You are asked to pay with a gift card, iTunes card, or wire transfer. You are asked for your username, password, or pin. No one should be asking you for this information. You are asked to give a code that was texted to you. Using a code to complete your sign-in is great, but no one should be asking you to tell them this code.
National School Counseling Week 2023, "School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big," will be celebrated from February 6-10, 2023, to recognize the unique contribution of school counselors within PCPS and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve academic, career, and personal success.
