School begins and safety is a priority
Submitted by Kim Garcia
Garrison Safety Office
Garrison Safety wants you and your child to be safe. Use
these tips to get to school safely!
Traveling to and from school
Walking to school
Make sure your child’s walk to a school is a safe route with
well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection. Be
realistic about your child’s pedestrian skills. Small children
are impulsive and less cautious around traffic; carefully con-
sider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school
without adult supervision. If your children are young or are
walking to a new school, walk with them the first week or
until you are sure they know the route and can do it safely.
Bright colored clothing will make your child more visible
to drivers. Visually check for traffic in all directions before
crossing any street or intersection.
Bicycles
Always wear a bicycle helmet. Ride on the right, in the same
direction as auto traffic. Use appropriate hand signals. Respect
traffic lights and stop signs. Wear bright colored clothing.
Welcome new school staff

Always walk your bike across intersections. Visually check for
traffic in all directions before crossing the street.
School bus
If your child’s school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make
sure your child uses it. Wait for the bus to stop before approach-
ing it from the curb. Make sure to always remain in clear view
of the bus driver. Children should always board and exit the
bus at locations that provide safe access to the bus or to the
school building.
Car
All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or an age- and size-
appropriate car safety seat or booster seat. All children younger
than 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat of vehicles.
Backpack safety
Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and
a padded back. Pack light. Organize the backpack to use all of
its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of
the back. The backpack should never weigh more than 10 to
20 percent of your child’s body weight. Always use both shoul-
der straps. Slinging a backpack over one shoulder can strain
muscles. If your school allows, consider a rolling backpack.
