Child Abuse Prevention Month

Teach your children personal safety rules and encourage them to trust their instincts about

situations or people they may encounter. Safety rules that children learn at school through the

Child Safety Matters program are:

o Know What’s Up- teaches students that it is the job of adults to keep them safe but that

they can help adults by learning safety rules and choosing to follow them

o Spot Red Flags- teaches students to watch for warning signs that a situation may not be

safe, to trust their instincts and ask a grownup for help if they are not sure if they are

safe

o Make a Move- teaches students to get away from situations where they feel

uncomfortable or unsafe

o Talk to an Adult- teaches students to identify safe adults who they can go to for help if

they are being hurt or if a friend is in danger

o It’s Never Your Fault!- teaches students that they are not the one at fault if someone

breaks safety rules and does something to hurt them on purpose

If you suspect that a child is being abuse or neglected, please call the Childhelp USA National

Child Abuse Hotline 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 1-800-422-4453 to make a report of

abuse or neglect.

o Is Your Child Too Young to be Left Alone?

 Children eight (8) years old and younger should never be left alone.

 Children between the ages of nine (9) and twelve (12) years old may be left

alone for brief periods of time when the child is determined to be mature by the

parent or guardian. Brief is defined as less than two (2) hours.

 Children ages thirteen (13) and older may be left alone and may perform the

role of babysitter as authorized by the parent or guardian. It is advisable to limit

this time to twelve (12) hours or less and only when the child is determined to

be mature by the parent or guardian.

Care Solace Information for Families

April is Stress Awareness Month—a reminder to prioritize mental well-being. With academic and daily

demands, both students and staff should take intentional moments to reset, breathe, and practice

mindfulness.

Taking small breaks makes a big difference. Step outside, take deep breaths, or do a quick mindfulness

exercise—your well-being matters!

Stress Management Tips for Families

 Create a Relaxing Home Environment – Consider keeping spaces organized, incorporating soft

lighting, or playing calming music to promote a peaceful atmosphere.

 Prioritize Family Time – Set aside time for activities like game nights, walks, or cooking together

to strengthen connections and reduce stress.

 Encourage Open Conversations – Check in regularly with family members about their feelings

and challenges, offering support and reassurance.

 Set Healthy Boundaries with Technology – Establish screen-free times, especially during meals

and before bed, to encourage mindfulness and relaxation.

 Model Healthy Coping Strategies – Show your children positive ways to manage stress, such as

exercising, journaling, or practicing gratitude

Stress Management Tips for Students

 Take Brain Breaks – Step away from studying every 30–45 minutes to refresh your mind and

improve focus.

 Get Moving – Physical activity, even a short walk or stretching, can help release tension and

boost mood.

 Practice Deep Breathing – Try inhaling for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for four to

reduce stress instantly.

 Stay Organized – Use a planner or to-do list to manage assignments and prevent last-minute

panic.

 Limit Social Media & Screen Time – Taking breaks from screens can help reduce anxiety and

improve overall well-being.
