School Safety at Barnhardt Academy
Everyone Is Responsible For School Safety
Students who see or hear something suspicious have many options when it comes to reporting what they see. Make sure they know they can report to an administrator, a teacher, a school counselor, or an adult they trust. They can also text hello to 741-741. Leaders cannot act on information they don't have so please encourage your student report what they see and hear if it is suspicious or dangerous.
We're better together!
See Something, Say Something
Parents, please help your students understand the importance of being aware of their surroundings.
Please encourage your child to say something if they see or hear something that sounds unsafe or potentially dangerous.
A courageous student willing to report something suspicious can make all the difference. This is something they should practice inside and outside of school to ensure their safety.
