Supe's On: School safety takes all of us

School safety takes all of us. One of the essential preventative measures against school violence is creating a caring and supportive school environment. Students willing to share information with trusted adults can prevent incidents from occurring at school. Families, please help us reinforce this idea by talking to your children and encouraging them that if they see something, to say something.

The Brandon Valley School District empowers staff to protect and care for students through the FBI recommended protocol of Run, Hide, Fight. Additionally, students are educated annually in safety topics, such as bike safety, crosswalk and walking to school safety, and internet safety, to name a few. With your help, we can reinforce these topics at home, which supports the growth and development of our children. 

‘WEATHER’ we like it or not, winter is coming. Please talk to your students about winter weather safety. 1.) Ensure your windshields are entirely defrosted before driving your vehicle; 2.) Dress for the winter weather and have proper winter clothing (winter coat, winter hat, and gloves); 3.) Hs ave a winter weather safety kit in your car; 4.) If there is ice and snow take it slow; 5.) Have a charged cell phone with you in your vehicle. 

Together, we promote student safety. Go, Lynx!
