Back to School Safety Checklist: Transportation Safety: Whether your children walk to school, ride their bicycle or take the bus, it is extremely important that they take proper safety precautions. Below are some tips to make sure your child travels safely to school. When Walking to School: Review your family’s walking safety rules. Walk on the sidewalk if one is available. When on a street with no sidewalk, walk facing traffic so you can see the motorists as they travel towards you. Before you cross the street, stop, look left, right and left again to see if cars are coming. Never dart out in front of a parked car. Practice walking to school with your child. Cross streets at crosswalks and controlled intersections when available. When Riding a Bicycle to School: Make sure your child always wears his/her helmet when leaving the house. Make sure the helmet is fitted and secured properly. Teach your children the rules of the road. When riding with others, ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, and in a single file. Come to a complete stop before crossing the street and walk your bike when crossing any street. When Riding the Bus to School: Go to the bus stop with your child to teach them the proper way to get on and off the bus. Make sure your children stand six feet away (or 3 giant steps) from the curb. If your child and you need to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the side of the road until you are at least 10 feet ahead of the bus. You always should be able to see the bus driver, and the bus driver should always be able to see you. School Safety: Many school-related injuries are preventable. Follow these steps to ensure your child’s safety at school. Preventing backpack-related injuries Chose a backpack for your child carefully. It should have ergonomically designed features to enhance safety and comfort. Don’t overstuff a backpack; it should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of your child’s body weight. For example, a child that weighs 60 pounds should carry a backpack no heavier than 12 pounds. Have your children use both straps when wearing their backpack to evenly distribute the weight on their shoulders. Preventing playground-related injuries Encourage your child to use playgrounds with a soft surface if available. Be extra careful on playgrounds with concrete surfaces. Children under the age of four should use climbing equipment with assistance and adult supervision. Watch out for older children when they’re climbing, especially on monkey bars.

Cell Phone Safety Tips Cellular phones are popular targets for criminals. When people are walking on a public street talking on their phones, they are often so occupied with their phone call that they are not paying attention to people around them. This can make them an easy target for a criminal. Suspects have been known to take advantage of this inattention and steal the victim’s cell phone before the victim can react. Here are some tips to reduce the chances of being a victim: Conceal your phone. When you are not using your phone, have it in your pocket, or in a phone case. If you need to make a call while walking on a public street, pay attention to your surroundings. When you have completed your call, put the phone away. Do not text or carry the phone in your hands for long periods of time. Send your text, then secure your phone out of sight. These are just a few suggestions intended to lessen the likelihood of you becoming a target of would be criminals and becoming a victim of theft.

Lista de Seguridad para Regresar a la Escuela: Seguridad en cuanto a Transportación: Ya sea que sus hijos caminen a la escuela, se vayan en bicicleta o tomen el autobús, es muy importante que tomen las precauciones necesarias. A continuación tenemos unos consejos para asegurarse que sus hijos vayan con toda seguridad a la escuela. Al caminar a la escuela: Cuando vaya caminando, revise las reglas de seguridad de su familia. Camine sobre la banqueta, si es que hay una disponible. Al caminar por la calle donde no hay banqueta, camine de frente al tráfico, para que pueda ver a los motoristas cuando vienen hacia usted. Antes de cruzar la calle, pare, mire a la izquierda, mire a la derecha y a la izquierda otra vez a ver si vienen autos. Nunca salga abruptamente enfrente de un auto estacionado. Practique caminar a la escuela con su hijo(a). Cruce la calle en los cruces peatonales e intersecciones controladas, cuando las haya.

Consejos de Seguridad del teléfono celular Los teléfonos celulares son un blanco para los delincuentes. Cuando la gente camina por la vía pública, hablando en sus celulares, a menudo están tan ocupados con su llamada que no están poniendo atención a la gente alrededor de ellos. Esto los convierte en un blanco fácil para un delincuente. Es sabido que los sospechosos se aprovechan de la falta de atención y les roban el celular, antes de que la víctima pueda reaccionar. He aquí unos consejos para reducir las posibilidades de convertirse en una víctima: Esconda su teléfono. Cuando no esté usando su teléfono, guárdelo en su bolsillo o en su estuche. Si necesita hacer una llamada estando en la calle, ponga atención a sus alrededores. Al terminar su llamada, guarde el teléfono. No escriba textos o lleve su teléfono en las manos por mucho tiempo. Mande su texto y guarde su teléfono. Estas son solo unas sugerencias para disminuir la posibilidad de convertirse en un blanco de los delincuentes y convertirse en una víctima de robo.
