Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- From the Effingham Police department Facebook Page:
As we embark on a new school year, the safety and well-being of our students are of utmost importance to us. We want to remind everyone of some essential safety tips to ensure a smooth and secure transition into the academic year. By working together, we can create a safe environment for our children and the entire community.
- Obey speed limits and traffic signs in school zones.
- Avoid using your phone while driving, especially in school areas.
- Always yield to pedestrians, especially in crosswalks.
- Be aware of school bus stops and follow bus safety rules.
- Encourage students to cross streets at designated crosswalks.
- Teach kids to look both ways before crossing and to use sidewalks.
- Remind children to avoid distractions while walking, such as using headphones or texting.
- Remind children not to talk to strangers or accept rides from them.
- Establish a code word that only you and your child know in case someone else needs to pick them up.
- Discuss online safety with your children, including the importance of not sharing personal information or engaging with strangers online.
- Teach children to stand back from the curb while waiting for the school bus.
- Advise kids to stay seated while the bus is in motion and to listen to the driver’s instructions
