Home Alone (Grades 3-8)

Is your child ready for the independence of being home alone? Parents need to be sure their children
have the skills and maturity to handle the responsibility safely. Whether it is for an hour after school or
several hours a day during the summer, being trusted to be home alone can be a positive experience
for a child who is mature and well prepared. This class for children will address several topics relating
to being “Home Alone” including age guidelines, safe habits, house rules, after school routines, phone
calls and door knocks, dog emergencies, personal safety, handling the unexpected, gun safety,
severe weather, fire safety, intruders, and first aid tips. Students attend this class independently and
should come prepared with a notebook and pen. Parents are encouraged to review the take home
information and discuss it with their child. This class is open to students in grades 3-8.
