5. Safety Rules to Remember
Get Permission
Never leave home, your classroom, or the school without adult
permission.
Tell where you are going, who will be there, what you will be
doing, how they can reach you, and how long you will be gone.
Know Your Numbers
Call 911 in an emergency.
Always know the phone number of someone safe.
Safety in Numbers
Always walk with people you can trust.
Know Your Neighborhood
Know the safe roads and places you go.
Find a public place to run to in an emergency.
6. Safety Rules to Remember
What’s the Password?
Create a safe word with your caretakers and
only go with safe people that know your
password.
Be Assertive
It is okay to say “no” to an adult or run away
from uncomfortable situations, even if you
know the person.
Be the Boss of Your Body
There are private areas on your bodies that
no one else should touch and things others
should never say about your body.

Editor's Notes
We see strangers everywhere we go – stores, parks, most are nice people but we need to know what to do in dangerous situations.
Remember that they love you no matter what and you can tell them anything even if you think you will be in trouble.
