🚸 Hey Parents & Guardians, It's Back-to-School Time! 🎒
Whether your student is walking, biking, or rolling to school, a few simple safety habits can make a big difference.
✅ Use sidewalks whenever possible when travelling to and from school.
✅ Cross at marked crossings. Always use marked crosswalks and avoid crossing mid-block or between parked vehicles, where drivers may not expect to see pedestrians.
✅ Stop, look, and listen before crossing. Look both ways, make eye contact with drivers when possible, and stay alert to your surroundings.
✅ Watch for vehicles at driveways. Be especially cautious where visibility may be limited by trees, bushes, fences, or parked cars.
