Student Safety Tips:

• Always walk or bike with a buddy, especially in low-light conditions.
• Stay alert and aware of your surroundings, avoiding distractions like cell phones.
• Follow traffic rules and signals, and use designated crosswalks.
• Keep personal belongings secure and out of sight.

Parent and Guardian Reminders:

• Establish a safe drop-off and pick-up routine with your child.
• Teach your child to never accept rides from strangers or get into a vehicle with someone they don't know.
• Encourage your child to report any suspicious behavior or concerns to a trusted adult.

Driver Safety Reminders:

• Be extra cautious in school zones, obeying speed limits and watching for pedestrians.
• Stop for school buses when their lights are flashing, and never pass a stopped bus.
• Avoid distractions while driving, such as using your phone or eating.

By working together, we can create a safe and supportive environment for all students to thrive. Let's make this school year a successful and safe one!
