As families ease into the back-to-school routine, it’s a great time to remind students of the simple steps that help keep them safe on their way to and from school. Our team at Kass & Moses, PC works with injury victims every day, and we know how much these precautions matter.
Walking to school? Encourage kids to stay on sidewalks, cross at designated crosswalks, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street. Walking with a group is always safer.
Riding a bike? A properly fitted helmet makes all the difference. Students should ride with traffic, stop fully before crossing, and choose routes with lighter traffic when possible.
Taking the bus? Remind kids to wait several feet back from the curb, board only once the bus is stopped, and avoid walking directly in front of or behind the bus without clear communication with the driver.
Getting dropped off? Drivers should follow school drop-off rules, stay within school zone speed limits, and never pass a bus that is loading or unloading.
Teen drivers? It never hurts to revisit the basics: seatbelts for everyone, no devices while driving, and speed limits that should always be respected.
We hope these tips help your family kick off a safe start to the school year. If you ever have questions about safety or need guidance after an accident, our team is here to help.
