There are times when a student may see an unfamiliar vehicle or person in their neighborhood or on their way to and from the bus stop or school. Even if the child is not approached, this may cause a feeling of uneasiness or concern. Please reinforce with your child that encounters or sightings that make them feel uncomfortable are to be reported to an adult so that the adult can determine the appropriate steps.

As always, the safety of our students and staff comes first. Please reinforce basic safety precautions frequently with your children).

Here are some suggestions:

1. Remain alert and be aware of your surroundings; 2. Always know where are your children are going, and who they are with; 3. When walking to and from school or in the community, especially at night, children should walk with a friend or adult       whenever possible; 4. All individuals should wear white or light colored clothing at night to increase visibility; 5. If your child has a cell phone, make sure it’s charged before he/she leaves the house, and know where your child will be     at all times; 6. Remind your children to call 911 in case of any emergency or if an unsafe situation occurs; 7. When children are at home alone, doors should be locked at all times; 8. Talk to your children and offer them advice and guidance on how to handle confrontations particularly with strangers. For     example, run from/do not speak to strangers, and other safety-related topics; and 9. Remind your children not to accept candy, money, gifts or rides from any adult without a parent’s permission.
