We wanted to share some quick safety reminders as our community plans for this weekend’s events.
Please remind your children or students of the safety precautions below. These are good to follow at all times, but especially on Halloween:
Travel in pairs or small groups whenever possible.
If children are traveling unaccompanied (without a trusted adult), please make sure that they stay in communication with their parents/guardians during this time and do periodic check-ins (by phone).
If you feel uncomfortable or threatened in any way, go to the nearest business or populated area and call for help.
Costumes should include reflective tape to make sure you are visible to cars.
Stick to well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk.
Stay alert while crossing the street and while walking in parking lots—cars might have a hard time seeing you when it’s dark.
If you are driving, remember to stay alert and watch for pedestrians crossing the street.
We want to ensure that all of our children are able to have fun this Halloween, but it is critical that we support them in participating in safe activities. Please prepare a plan with your children in advance so that you are aware of their whereabouts, in case they need emergency support from you while they are out.
