YOU ARE NOT ALONE
If you or someone you know are a victim of abuse or you suspect that there is a possibility of abuse, you will find valuable resources on this page.
If you are not sure where or how to start, please reach out to a trusted adult here at school. Your counselor, Principal and Vice Principal are here to help.
CONSENT MATTERS
It's important to know what consent means and to know how to set boundaries for yourself.
Be aware - Be safe

SAFETY PLANNING: WHEN VIOLENCE HITS HOMEBE PREPARED TO GET AWAY:
- Keep a spare set of keys, a set of clothes, important papers, prescriptions, and money with someone you trust.
- Keep any evidence of physical abuse (ripped clothes, photos of bruises and injuries, etc.)
- Plan the safest time to get away.
- Know where you can go for help, tell someone what is happening to you. Have the phone numbers of friends, relatives and domestic violence programs with you.
- Call the police if you are in danger and need help.
- If you are injured, go to the hospital emergency room or doctor and report what happened to you, ask that they document your visit.
- Plan with your children and identify a safe place for them; a room with a lock or a neighbor's house where they can go for help. Reassure them their job is to stay safe, not protect you.
- Arrange a signal with a neighbor, e.g., if the porch light is on call the police.
