4. Follow all directions given by adults.
5. Walk down the halls quietly.
6. Respect other people’s bodies and belongings by not touching them.

Safety First
We should always remember to keep our children’s safety in mind and to immediately report to the police department any incident of a stranger approaching a child. Please take a few moments to review these safety tips with your children. (Read more)
