Know and follow school security and safety measures. This includes signing in when visiting the school, being escorted when walking through the building, taking the yellow slip after getting it signed by the principal in case you need to take your child out of school during school hours pass and making sure that the only person who comes to pick your child up in your absence is the guardian you have mentioned in the diary otherwise the child will not be allowed to leave with anyone else. Also no eatables will be allowed into the school once the child has entered, please make sure the lunch boxes are sent with the child when he/she arrive to school. Following these procedures also sets a great example for your kids.

Talk with your child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct and paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if she doesn't feel safe (find a teacher, call 100, etc.). Make sure she knows how to contact you.

Inform school staff about health and emotional concerns. Whether your child has a food allergy, a physical disability, or has been subject to bullying. Make sure to keep your child's teachers and Principal in the loop.
