Back to School Safety<br />
It’s “back to school” time! Help keep each other<br />
safe byfollowing some simple tips:<br />
• Children and young people<br />
get distracted and may<br />
forget to look for traffic –<br />
be alert<br />
• Stop if aschool patrol sign<br />
is extended –nomatter<br />
which side it’s on<br />
• Children often don’t<br />
accurately judge the speed<br />
and distance of approaching<br />
cars –slow down<br />
