Back to School Safety

August 24, 2014 – 3:50 pm

Labor Day. The unofficial end of summer and it’s back to school for our kids.

Review how to cross roads safely, even with older children.

When the weather is poor, or the mornings dark, make sure kids have reflective strips on backpacks, shoes, or jackets.

Discuss a back up plan in case you are late, and your child does not see you at the expected time.

Watch this quick video on driving safely with the big yellow buses.
