皇冠365 is actively working with community members, school leaders and city officials to support the needs of our neighborhoods. Our top priority is the safety and well-being of each of our students—your children.

Adults can often feel uncomfortable discussing sensitive issues like gangs and violence with young people. 然而, if young people are dealing with gangs in their school or community, they need opportunities to talk candidly about these issues with trusted adults. The significance of an anti-gang message increases when it comes from a person who has a caring relationship with the young person.

Some signs that may indicate gang involvement include:

• Shirts, hats, and other clothing in matching colors or with matching logos and symbols. Also check for insignia on jewelry, belts, shoelaces, or tattoos.

• Gang graffiti on notebooks, clothing and other personal belongings. Watch for things written in Old English-style letters or in hard-to-decipher handwriting.

• Newly acquired and unexplained money or expensive possessions that are displayed, 穿, 或者与同伴分享.

• Carrying or showing off a gun, knife, or other weapon.

• Changes in the student’s behavior and lifestyle, such as:

  • 学校成绩差或不及格

  • 敌对的或挑衅的态度

  • Secrecy about activities or time away from home

  • 吸毒或酗酒

  • Involvement in illegal activities or trouble with law enforcement

• Be sensitive to the child’s level of understanding. 他/她知道什么? What is he/she seeing in the neighborhood and at school?

• Take a strong, no-tolerance stand against gangs and violence. Do not allow your child to glorify gangs, 穿帮派风格的衣服, or use gang-related slang or insults.

• Talk about the negative effects of gang membership on young people, 他们的家庭, 朋友, 学校和皇冠365.

Remain accessible and involved with these young people. 这些长期, caring relationships with adults can provide them incentives and a support network to stay out of gangs.
