After-school hours can get busy, and it’s important for families to have simple routines that keep students safe as they head home. Our team put together a few reminders to help you feel confident about your child’s safety this school year.
• Set up a quick check-in routine so your child reaches out as soon as they make it home. Tools like family locator apps or a GPS tag on their backpack can offer extra peace of mind.
• If they’ll be home alone, go over clear rules about locking doors, who’s allowed to visit, and what to do if someone unexpected comes by.
• Review internet safety together and remind them not to share personal details like their name, school, or address online.
• Make sure they know what to do in an emergency, whether it’s severe weather, a fire, or a situation where they need immediate help.
• If they walk or bike home, go over their route and reinforce avoiding shortcuts through unfamiliar or isolated areas and never accepting rides from strangers.
We hope these tips help your family feel more prepared and supported. And if you ever have questions about safety or accident-related concerns in Los Angeles, our team at Hakakian Law Group is always here to help.
