Schools are usually very safe places. They teach children about learning through subjects such as math, music, and reading. Schools are places to learn and have fun. Schools are also places to learn table manners.
But sometimes schools are not safe. Sometimes a disturbed person may enter a school with the idea of hurting people. Somehow hurting other people makes this disturbed person feel better inside. It is very hard for most adults and students to understand this. Sadly, this type of misguided, violent behavior can occur in the world we live in today.
The police are called in to help in any unsafe situation at a school. Police officers will arrive at the school within a few minutes. These officers know how to stop unsafe people. Listen to what the police say, it is their job to keep you safe and protect the school.
Reporting possible harm does not make you a tattletale, it makes you a hero. You have the power to make your school safer. When you report that a student is planning to harm others, you can save lives.
Schools are safe, wonderful places to learn and grow. It takes a community of safety educated students to help keep schools safe. Thank you for doing your part to make your school even safer than it was before!
