Dear Parents/Guardians:
On behalf of the Safe Communities Coalition (Coalition), North Hunterdon High School, in conjunction with interested parents, community agencies and local law enforcement, invites you to participate in the SAFE HOMES PROGRAM, a program of invaluable support for teenagers and their families which is supported and maintained by the Coalition. This is a national initiative designed to coordinate pledges from local families who agree to host only supervised, drug and alcohol-free gathering for teens at their homes.
The enclosed information details this potentially lifesaving program. Our school is coordinating this initiative with our sending districts, other county high schools, community agencies and local police.
Once the enclosed signed Pledge Form has been returned, the data is then forwarded to the Coalition and entered into the online Directory located on its website, www.safecoalition.org. You will receive an email with instructions on how to access the online Directory; therefore, an email address is required on the Pledge Form. Your user ID will be your email address and the email you receive will contain your temporary password. The Coalition website also includes parental resources on alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs.
We have had tremendous support and success from our North Hunterdon High School parents with this program. Please be sure to return the enclosed Pledge Form by mail or fax on or before September 30, 2019. Thank you for your anticipated support with Safe Homes.
For more information regarding the Safe Homes program, please visit the Safe Homes Coalition website above.
Sincerely,
Greg Cottrell, Ed.D.
Principal
