School Safety Resources
Parents - talk to your child. Adolescence is a time when young people struggle with their changing sense of identity. Celebrate their achievements, forgive their mistakes and listen to them when they have a problem. Children whose parents are actively involved in their lives are less likely to engage in harmful or inappropriate behavior. Below are some additional resources to assist with those conversations.
