KIDS: Do's and Don'ts Back-to-School SAFETY !!!!!

Summer's over and it's time to hit the books again:
Kids: If it's your first day at a new school, make sure you know your teacher's full name and how to get to the principal's office in case you need help.
Parents: Make sure you know the phone number and complete address of your child's school, as well as the principal's name and number.
Kids: Wait for your bus or ride in a designated spot or a safe place. Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and for the driver to tell you it's okay before you get on.
Parents: Tell your child to stay seated at all times on the school bus and to cross the street at least 10 feet in front of the bus when they get off.
Kids: If you have a cell phone, make sure you turn it on right after school so your parent or guardian can reach you if they need to.
Parents: Make after-school schedules and carpooling arrangements early and always have a back-up plan. Kids shouldn't walk home from school alone.
Kids: Play fair and play safe on the playground to make sure no one gets seriously hurt.
Parents: Get all the proper safety equipment, including helmets, knee pads, reflectors, etc. for kids who ride their bikes or skateboard to school.
Kids: If someone you don't know approaches you on school grounds or on your way home, don't talk to them and, if possible, let an adult know.
Parents: Don't buy your child clothing or bags with their name on them since strangers can use this information against them.
Kids: If your teacher says or does something that makes you feel funny, tell your parent or guardian right away.
Parents: Make sure you meet your child's teachers and coaches, and if something about them doesn’t seem right, check with authorities or your local sex offender registry online.
