Getting to school and back home again
- Find an easy way to walk to school or the bus stop. Ask your parents if there is anything you should watch out for along way. Always walk with a brother, sister, neighbor, or friend.
- Don't talk to strangers, go anywhere with them, or take anything from them.
- Know your phone number and address, even your area code and zip code. If you have trouble remembering them, write them down and keep them in a safe place.
After School
- If you stay home alone for a few hours after school while your parents are at work, call and check in with them as soon as you get home. And remember McGruff's home alone rules.
- Ask your parents what the rules are. Are you allowed to watch TV before you finish your homework? Or have ice cream as a snack?
In the classroom
Most teachers have their own rules for what goes on in their classroom but there are a few other things you should remember when you're in class.
- If another kid, even a friend, asks you to do something you don't want to, don't do it.
- If you get into an argument, talk it out. Fighting will hurt you and will probably get you in trouble. It may even give you a reputation as a bully.
- Know that tattling is VERY different from telling. Tattling gets someone into trouble, and telling gets someone out of trouble. It's always okay to tell.
- If anything bothers you or makes you feel weird, like a fight with a friend, a run-in with a bully, or ANYTHING, talk to an adult you trust.
- Study hard. You can be anything you want to be if you work hard and don't give up.
