📢 Student Safety & Well-Being Announcement 

As part of our commitment to student safety and well-being, all middle and high schools in the Wake County Public School System are required to show the Protecting Our Students videos to students in grades 6–12 during the school year. A state law passed in 2023 requires that all public school students in grades 6–12 view these videos.

These age-appropriate videos were developed by the Center for Safer Schools in collaboration with Capitol Broadcasting Company. They are designed to educate students about inappropriate behavior and adult misconduct in school settings, help students learn skills to stay safe, and identify trusted adults they can turn to for help. Our goal is to empower students with knowledge while approaching this important and sensitive topic with care and respect.

🎯 After watching the video, students will be able to:

• Recognize what inappropriate behavior by an adult is and what it might look like if it is happening to them or someone they know

• Learn and practice healthy behaviors and skills to stay safe

• Identify a trusted adult they can go to for help
