Not My Kid Contract Overview

Introductory Letter To Parents-- Please read for more information

 

When a contracted family/student is selected at random, this letter and support materials accompany the First Check 12 drug test kit.

 

The Not My Kid Contract is a family based drug use and abuse prevention tool that attaches action and accountability to a promise that our grade 7 & 8 children make to remain drug free.Additionally, the more families that take action and sign the contract, the more the contract empowers our children to say no together and to dodge the peer pressure to use drugs.

 

 

What is the 24-month Not My Kid Contract?

Your child pledges to you:
-“I will not do drugs.”
-“I agree to be drug tested if selected at random.”

You, the parent(s), pledge to your child:
-“If selected, I will follow through and test you.”

How does the Not My Kid Contract Work?

1.Child and Parent(s) sign a 24-month contract and return it to school.

2.Once a month the principal and school counselor select one student through a random and confidential drawing from all those who signed contracts.

3.Only the parent(s) of the child selected will be notified and mailed an over-the-counter, in-home drug test; the results of which remain 100% confidential- between the parent and child.

4.The student’s contract will then be placed will be placed back into pool.

What is the School’s Role in Not My Kid Contract?

1.Collect and maintain all contracts for 24 month period;

2.Hold random monthly confidential drawings;

3.Alert parents of student selected in drawing; and

4.Mail an in-home test kit to parents including parent/child discussion tips prior to testing, as well as recommended ‘first steps’ if the results are positive.

5.Once the test kit is mailed, the school’s role ends. There is no paper trail of distributed kits AND parents will never be asked for the test results.
