Your home should be one of the safest places for you and your family. Take a few minutes to review these important safety checks:

🧯 FIRE EXTINGUISHER - Keep a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location, especially in or near the kitchen. Make sure everyone knows how to use it. Fire extinguishers can be purchased at most hardware, home improvement, and general retail stores. If a fire is spreading quickly or producing heavy smoke get out and call 911 rather than trying to fight it.

🚨 DRYER SAFETY - Clean the lint trap after every load and periodically check/clean the dryer vent. Don’t run the dryer while you’re away or asleep.

🏃 HAVE AN ESCAPE PLAN - Know and keep in mind the quickest ways to get yourself and others OUT of your residence.

⚡ ELECTRICAL SAFETY - Don’t overload outlets or power strips. Replace damaged cords and don’t run extension cords under rugs or through doorways.

🕯️ CANDLE SAFETY - Keep candles away from anything flammable and never leave them burning unattended. Consider flameless candles as a safer alternative.

🔥 SPACE HEATERS - Keep space heaters at least 4 feet away from anything that can burn. Plug them directly into a wall outlet and turn them off when leaving the room or going to sleep.

🔑 A FEW MORE QUICK CHECKS

• Keep exits and hallways clear

• Know where your home’s main electrical, gas, and water shutoffs are located

• Never leave cooking unattended

• Make sure everyone in your household knows when and how to call 911

A few minutes of preparation today can make a BIG difference when an emergency happens. 🏠 Stay prepared. Stay safe.

As students, parents, buses, and staff return to their daily routines, we all have a role to play in keeping our kids safe.

🚗 Slow down in school zones. Pay attention to posted speed limits and be prepared for unexpected activity such as foot traffic around schools.

🚸 Watch for children crossing the street. Kids may not always see or react to traffic the way adults do. Stay alert and be prepared to stop.

🚌 Stop for school buses. When a bus has its stop arm and red warning lights activated, STOP and remain stopped until the bus continues, no matter which direction you are traveling. Only proceed when it is safe and legal.

🛑 Follow crossing guards’ directions. Give crossing guards plenty of space and never attempt to drive around them or through a crossing area while children are present.

📱 Put the phone down. School zones require your full attention. Avoid distractions and keep your eyes on the road.

🚗 Be patient and respectful during drop-off and pick-up! Expect congestion and give yourself extra time. A few extra minutes is worth keeping our kids safe.

Let’s make this school year a safe one for every student, teacher, parent, and driver. 🎒

🚔 School Visits 📚

There will be familiar faces from the Havana Police Department walking through our local schools!

Officers will be conducting random walkthroughs throughout the school year to maintain a visible presence and help keep our schools safe.

If you see our squad cars outside the schools, don’t be alarmed — we’re simply dropping by to visit, check in, and show support.

If your child sees an officer, encourage them to say hello! 👋 We want our officers to be familiar, friendly faces in our schools and build positive relationships with the students we serve.

Happy Friday!
