Back-to-school safety impacts families and communities by heightening awareness of potential dangers students face on campus and in their daily routines. Ensuring that children are safe while traveling to and from school, as well as in the classroom, encourages a proactive mindset around safety prevention. By providing resources and promoting communication between parents, schools, and the community, we can help create a secure environment where students can thrive.
