Description:

Be Safe Virginia is a program focused on educating students pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Virginia’s Public Schools. The program and curriculum's goals are to educate our youngest community members on important public safety topics in an age-appropriate manner. Themes range in scope from learning about the role of community helpers, to how to stay safe during in-person and online interactions, as well as understanding the impacts of substance abuse and bullying.

Licensed teachers and early childhood specialists developed the lessons and materials, and all lessons correlate to the Virginia Standards of Learning. The program is intended to be taught primarily by school resource officers and school security officers in Virginia elementary schools familiar to their students but may also be taught by Pre-K–5 staff, substitute teachers, or school volunteers.

Join us as we review where to find these curriculum materials, best practices recommended and answer any questions you may have.
