IMPORTANT END OF YEAR DATES!

It is always important to talk to your children about their surroundings and being safe. Please review the following safety tips with your children.

Don’t talk to strangers.
Don’t take anything from strangers.
Don’t go anywhere with someone you don’t know.
Stay more than an arm’s reach from strangers. If you are approached by a stranger, seek help immediately.
Trust your instincts, if you feel you are being followed or something is not right, seek help immediately.
Use the buddy system, avoid walking anywhere alone.
Review contact telephone numbers and home safety practices.
When seeking help, always go to a trusted adult – teacher, coach, police officer, parent or guardian, or older siblings.
If a stranger grabs you, do everything you can to stop him or her from pulling you away. Drop to the ground, kick, hit, bite, and scream. Do whatever it takes to attract the attention of others who can help you. If someone is dragging you away, scream, “this is not my dad,” or “this is not my mom.”
Report any suspicious activity to your local school and police department.
