What is Safe Homes?
Safe Homes of GHS is a network of parents who pledge that they
(1) will be at home when their teens have parties and (2) will not allow
the illegal use of alcohol, drugs or tobacco at teen parties in their
home or on their property. Parents participating in this pledge will be
indicated in the directory.
Why Safe Homes?
Many parents feel that they are the only ones who want a safe, drug
and alcohol free environment for their children and feel uncomfortable
talking to other adults or kids about their concerns. Research shows
that parents, who set clear rules, monitor their teen’s activities, and who
provided a safe environment will greatly lower the risk that their children
will be involved in using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
The GHS Parent's Pledge is not intended to be and in no way constitute a legal agreement
between the households signing and the Glenelg High School Community at large. It does not in
any way constitute a legal document or create a legal duty or obligation nor any personal liability
to you. It is not an assumption of risk, or an agreement to assume liability for the actions of non
family members who visit your homes. It is simply a tool for parents to communicate their desire
to maintain a household free of drugs and alcohol. The pledge is not intended to be a substitute
for responsible parenting, all parents are encouraged to contact the homes in which their
children are visiting.
