Before students head back to school, our team at Sage Choice Insurance wants to help families feel prepared and confident about safety on the way there. Here are a few reminders to share with your kids, no matter how they travel:
• Walking to school? Encourage them to use sidewalks, cross at crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers, and walk with a group when possible.
• Riding a bike? A well-fitted helmet is essential. Kids should ride with traffic, stop fully before crossing, and choose routes with lighter traffic.
• Taking the bus? Remind students to stand several feet back from the curb, wait for the bus to stop completely before boarding, and make eye contact with the driver before crossing.
• Getting dropped off? Drivers should follow school drop-off procedures, stay alert in school zones, and never pass a bus that’s loading or unloading.
• Teen drivers? Review seatbelt use, distracted driving rules, and the importance of obeying speed limits.
We hope these tips help make the transition back to school a little smoother for families in Corpus Christi. What other safety reminders do you share with your kids? Feel free to drop them in the comments.
