Project S.A.F.E. (Safety Awareness for Everyone)
This student safety program was developed in cooperation with the Skokie Police Department and a committee of staff members of Skokie schools. Project SAFE expands the curriculum from kindergarten through 5th grade and fosters a positive relationship between students and the police. Project SAFE is taught by two Crime Prevention Officers, who focus upon school safety education.
Students in all public Skokie elementary schools and some parochial schools are taught under a standardized curriculum. Major subjects covered include personal, home, and community safety. Lessons are age-appropriate and different for each grade level.
Project SAFE is a tailor-made program, developed for and by Skokie teachers and police. Project SAFE is flexible and can be modified to meet the changing needs of students in the Skokie community.
