This class is appropriate for the child who has never been home alone as well as the child who has been home alone but needs extra skills and information about unexpected ‘what if’ situations that may occur when staying alone. For safety, a parent/ guardian must sign out every child. Room 213 Section A: June 17 & 19 W&F 12-2 p.m. Section B: August 11 & 13 T & Th 12-2 p.m. Amy K. Marks, BSN, RN Fee: $44
