Many households are focused on back to school shopping, meeting new teachers and the return of homework, but most fail to focus on school safety! August is Back to School Safety Month! While school safety is important all year, the start of school is a great time to refresh your mind.
Every school district has safety/emergency plans. Don't be afraid to ask teachers or school administrators about these plans. Make your self familiar with what is expected of you as a parent in the event of an emergency, and remind your kids of what actions they are to take!
An astounding 23 million children nationwide travel to and from school on a bus! Whether you have a child on a bus or you encounter school buses during your daily travels, it is very important to familiarize yourself with bus safety! Check out this link for tips for students, parents and drivers!
