See the notes below and click on the link for more information on keeping your student safe from the Florida State PTA.
Florida has the strongest laws in the country to protect its youthful citizens from being abducted. However, parents and children themselves are the first line of defense. Talk to your children about following these rules:
• Stay away from any unfamiliar person who is trying to trick you or force you to go with him or her.
• Let your parents and other trusted adults know about any suspicious persons or situations.
• Learn to describe people and vehicles.
• Know where to run and how to forcibly resist capture.
• Scream to be seen and to scare a stranger away.
• Stay with a buddy, a group, or parents at the bus stop.
• Report anyone hanging around or passing by regularly.
• Accept a ride only from someone approved by the school.
• Walk or bike only along a route that your parents or the school has determined is safe.
• Lock the door and never tell callers you are home
The goal of the Safety Harbor Middle School PTSA is to fund programs to benefit students. Please consider joining us! To learn more about volunteer opportunities please email us: shms.ptsa@gmail.com.
