Don’t bring weapons to school. If you see one, report it to the school resource officer or school officials immediately.
Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activities to the police, school officials, and your parents.

👥 Look Out for Each Other:

Tell a teacher, parent, or another trusted adult if you feel unsafe or if someone is bullying or threatening you.
Remember, it’s OK to say “no” to adults or other students if they ask you to do something wrong or that makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

🖼️ The Big Picture: Keeping your school a safe place is about more than just following rules. It’s about looking out for yourself and each other. When you feel secure, you can focus on what really matters: friends, fun, and learning.
