Elementary School

Elementary school children need brief, simple information. Reinforce that school and home are safe and that adults are there to protect them. Examples of school safety include:

  • School doors are locked
  • Adults monitor the playground
  • Students practice emergency drills

Intermediate School

Intermediate school children may ask more questions about safety and need help separating reality from fantasy. Discuss how schools and community leaders work to keep schools safe:

  • Regular drills
  • Locked school doors
  • Adults monitoring the playground

Middle and High School

Middle and high school students often have strong opinions about school safety and violence. Emphasize their role in maintaining a safe school environment:

  • Do not allow strangers into school buildings
  • Report strangers on campus
  • Report threats to school safety
  • Share personal safety concerns with school administrators
  • Seek or encourage support for emotional needs
