Back To School

Dear Residents, 

Where has the time gone?!?

As the last days of summer fade away, a new school year brings fresh excitement mixed with a little bit of chaos. There's a lot to think about - new teachers, new timetables, new commutes, new friends, and often, new levels of independence - it can be a daunting time!

Whether they walk, bike, take the bus, or ride with a teen driver, implementing effective safety measures can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Remind them to stay alert and avoid distractions (like walking with their eyes glued to their phone).

In the digital world, online safety is a crucial component of student safety. Help them understand the risks of sharing their personal information online, encouraging open conversations and reassuring them that they can always come to you for help.

Having the knowledge and confidence can help your child have a safe, successful and happy school year.
