📢 We’re less than a week away from the first day of school!
As we gear up for a strong start, here are a few 📚✏️ Back to School Safety Tips 🚸🎒 for students and families to help ensure a safe and smooth return to campus:
1️⃣ Plan Your Route:
Whether walking, biking, or taking the bus, plan your route ahead of time and stick to well-lit, familiar paths.
2️⃣ Stay Visible:
If you’re traveling early in the morning, wear bright or reflective clothing and use a flashlight if needed.
3️⃣ Buckle Up:
Always wear your seatbelt. Younger students should be properly secured in car seats or booster seats appropriate for their age and size.
4️⃣ Backpack Safety:
Keep backpacks light—no more than 10-15% of your body weight. Use both shoulder straps and pack heavier items closest to your back.
5️⃣ Stranger Danger:
Remind children to never accept rides, gifts, or help from strangers. Set clear rules for safe behavior when walking to and from school.
6️⃣ Cyber Safety:
For older students, practice smart cyber habits—avoid sharing personal information and speak up about cyberbullying.
7️⃣ Hand Hygiene:
🧼 Good handwashing and carrying hand sanitizer help prevent the spread of germs—especially during cold and flu season.
8️⃣ Know Emergency Contacts:
Make sure your child knows how to reach you and understands what to do in an emergency.
9️⃣ Stay Informed:
📲 Parents—stay connected through school websites, the TCS app, and social media for updates, events, and school policies.
🔟 Be Kind and Supportive:
Encourage students to look out for one another, be inclusive, and help create a positive school culture from day one. 💛
Let’s make this school year a safe and successful one! 🏫✨ Share these tips with friends and family, and feel free to add more suggestions in the comments. 📢📓👩🏫👨🎓
