This is day one of KY Safe Schools Week. The theme is “Focus on School Safety.” The goal is to raise awareness about various aspects of school safety and empower students, teachers, parents, and the community to take proactive measures to create a safe learning environment.
I pledge to “Focus on School Safety”:
I will "frame the positive" by showing respect, kindness, and acceptance to others. I will "zoom in on kindness" and stand against bullying behaviors in all forms. I will "adjust my focus" by staying alert and reporting anything that doesn’t seem right. I will "capture responsibility" by owning my actions and following school rules. I will "develop the full picture" by working with others to build a safe, supportive school community.
Please show your support and take the online pledge at https://kycss.org/safe-schools-week/safety-week-pledge/
