Richfield Public Schools Community Education

Age 9-12 There is no magic age at which children develop the maturity and good sense needed to stay alone. Be prepared for your 9-12 year-old to be home alone for short periods of time, before or after school or while you run errands. During this class, kids will make their own first-aid kits and learn basic first-aid techniques. We’ll discuss personal and home safety, internet safety, phone skills, fire safety, escape plans, what to do in severe weather, bike safety, snack ideas, appropriate activities and more! Each child will receive a multi-sport helmet, water bottle and backpack. Lunch will be provided. This class is a partnership with Richfield Police, Richfield Fire, and Richfield Recreation Services.
