8 August 2019 | Cypress South Here are a few final tips for a fantastic school year: • Get enough sleep. • Eat a healthy breakfast. • Try your best. • Use good work habits, like writing down your assignments and turning in your homework on time. • Take your time with school work. If you don’t understand something, ask the teacher. • Keep a sense of humor. One teacher we know shows his new students a picture of himself graduating high school a grinning ape in a red graduation cap and gown. This usually makes the kids laugh and it’s a good way to remind them that school is fun! Questions or feedback please contact Carla Brownlee at [email protected].

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY CHECKLIST As summer draws to a close and children start heading back to school, family life can get pretty hectic. It’s important to remember - and share with your children - some key tips that will help keep them safe and healthy throughout the school year.

Getting to School Whether children walk, ride their bicycle or take the bus to school, it is vitally important that they and the motorists around them - take proper safety precautions.

Walkers Walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk and you must walk in the street, walk facing traffic Before crossing the street, stop and look left, right and left again to see if cars are coming Never dart out in front of a parked car Parents: Practice walking to school with your child, crossing streets at crosswalks when available Never walk while texting or talking on the phone Do not walk while using headphones

Bike Riders Always wear a helmet that is fitted and secured properly Children need to know the rules of the road: Ride single file on the right side of the road, come to a complete stop before crossing the street and walk the bike across Watch for opening car doors and other hazards Use hand signals when turning Wear bright-colored clothing

Bus Riders Teach children the proper way to get on and off the bus Line up 6 feet away from the curb as the bus approaches If seat belts are available, buckle up Wait for the bus to stop completely before standing Do not cross in front of the bus if possible or walk at least 10 feet ahead until you can see the other drivers

Drivers, Share the Road Don’t block crosswalks Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and take extra care in school zones Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians Never pass a bus loading or unloading children The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children; stop far enough back to allow them to safely enter and exit the bus

Teen Drivers Teens crash most often because they are inexperienced. They struggle judging gaps in traffic, driving the right speed for conditions and turning safely, among other things. As your teen becomes a new driver, learn more about what you can do as a parent to keep them safe.
