Parent Resources

The fall is here and school is back in session! A new school year ushers in plenty of excitement, but also plenty of safety hazards that could put your children at risk if they – and you -aren’t prepared. Whether your children take a bus, walk, ride a bike or drive, we urge you to all have a conversation with them about the potential dangers associated with transportation to and from school every day. It’s a discussion that could save lives. Here are a few tips from the American Red Cross to get you going:

For School Bus Riders

Line up facing the bus door, not along the side of the bus.
Don’t play in the street while waiting for the bus.
After getting off the bus, move immediately onto the sidewalk or road shoulder, out of traffic.
Wait for a signal from the bus driver before crossing the street, then walk at least 10 steps away from the front of the bus so that the bus driver can see you.

For Walkers and Bike Riders

Never walk alone – always walk with a buddy.
Pay attention to all traffic signals and instructions from crossing guards. Never cross the street against the light, even if there are no cars coming.
Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.
Walk – don’t ride – a bicycle across intersections.

For Car Drivers and Passengers

Motor vehicles are the leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 18 years old. Take every precaution when driving to school or riding with another teenage driver, including following the speed limit at all times and obeying all traffic signs and signals.
Everyone in the car should wear a seatbelt. This lowers the risk of injury in the event of a crash by 45 percent – not to mention it’s the law.
