Do your teens have prom and graduation circled on the family calendar? Are they busy planning all of the perfect details, from transportation to dates and what to wear? With the school year winding down, it’s time for end-of-year fun, including prom, graduation, graduation parties and spring break. With that comes the time for parents to step in and make sure safety is on the top of the list.

Your Family’s Pre-Prom & Graduation Checklist Includes Discussing:

  • Appropriate curfews
  • Which friends they’ll be going with to prom or graduation parties
  • Where events will be taking place
  • What post-prom or graduation plans are on the agenda
  • What behavior is acceptable, including the use of drugs or alcohol

Yikes—that list can be overwhelming, but you’ll be happy you prepared your family in advance.

If it’s your family’s first time through these events, or you’re looking for more tips to add to your parent tool belt, join us for Prom & Graduation: Make "Safe" Part of the Celebration, a free webinar on Wednesday, March 26, from 12:00–12:30 p.m. We’ll discuss these topics and many other safety concerns parents typically have ahead of these events.
