Safety Information

Roseville City School District believes in enhancing student learning by providing an orderly, caring, and nurturing environment in which all students can feel safe and take pride in their school and their achievements. 

Having a conversation with your child about school safety is one way that you can help foster a positive and welcoming environment at your student’s school. Follow the tips on this page for some ideas on how to talk to your child about school safety.

Be Safe

Encourage your child to share any concerns they may have about what they see or overhear with an adult. Let them know that their words help to keep our schools safe. Remember: If you see something, say something. 

Be Kind

Teach your child about the seriousness of jokes about violence or weapons. It’s essential that they understand the potential consequences of such actions, both at school and in their future lives. 

Be Responsible 

Make sure your child knows that items that may pose a threat to students, staff, or district property are not allowed on school grounds. 

When deciding if an item is appropriate for school, consider whether or not it has the potential to pose a threat or danger to the safety of students, staff, or district property, or whether it might substantially disrupt school activities.

Such items include, but are not limited to:

• Firearms 
• Tasers
• Projectile weapons (e.g., slingshot)
• Imitation firearms (e.g., BB gun, airsoft gun, water gun, etc.)
• Laser pointers
• Tear gas (e.g., pepper spray)
• Items with a bladed edge (e.g., knife, razor, box cutter, etc.)
• Explosives
• Lighters/matches
• Blunt weapons (e.g., billy club, nunchaku, metal knuckle, etc.)
• Sharp objects

If you are unsure if your child can bring a specific item to school, please contact your school’s staff and they will be able to provide you with further guidance. Encourage your child to reach out to an adult if they have concerns about a student’s words and/or behavior.
