Safety Tips to Prepare for the Start of School

As summer ends, we know that it is that time of year again–back to school! We wanted to highlight some safety tips to keep everyone safe.

• Watch for Children.
• Obey School Zone speed limits.
• Do not pass a bus loading children.
• Never pass vehicles stopped at a crosswalk.
• Pay attention to school crossing guards.
• Eliminate distractions while driving.
• Use designated student drop-off and pick-up zones.

And for you parents, to help you transition smoothly, Highline Public Schools has created a Back to School Checklist with nine things to do before school starts. These steps will ensure you’re prepared, excited and confident for the year ahead.

Stay safe out there!
