As families across our communities gear up for a new school year, keeping students safe on their way to and from school is essential. At The Brooks Stafford Company, we care about helping you protect what matters most, and that includes your child’s safety every day. Here are a few reminders to share with your students:
• Walking to school: Encourage kids to stay on sidewalks, use crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers, and walk with a group when possible.
• Riding a bike: A properly fitted helmet is a must. Remind them to ride with traffic, stop fully at crossings, and choose quieter routes.
• Taking the bus: Students should stay several feet back from the curb, wait for the bus to stop completely, and always make eye contact with the driver before crossing.
• Getting dropped off: Follow school zone speed limits and drop-off procedures, and never pass a bus that is loading or unloading.
• Teen drivers: Review safe driving basics like wearing seatbelts, avoiding devices, and staying within the speed limit.
We’re here to support families with guidance, protection, and peace of mind. If you have questions about coverage or need help reviewing your insurance, our team is always here to help.
