Back to school brings new independence, with many teens driving themselves for the first time. Caregivers can help set the tone by establishing clear expectations early. Encourage “heads up, phones down” in the car, limit passengers, and reinforce the importance of seat belts every trip. Remind teens to slow down in school zones, watch for pedestrians, and stay alert during busy pick-up and drop-off times. Setting rules like no speeding, no distractions, and no impaired driving , and practicing safe habits every day helps teens build responsible driving skills that last well beyond the school year.

With the school year beginning, it’s a great time to reinforce safe walking habits.

🚸 Teach children to look left, right, and left again and to keep watching as they cross.

📵 Encourage “heads up, phones down” to avoid distractions.

🚶‍♀️‍➡️ Always use sidewalks and crosswalks, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street.

🚗 Remind kids to stay alert for turning or backing vehicles and to never run into the road or cross between parked cars.

👧 Children under 10 should always cross with an adult.

🔦 When it’s dark, help them stay visible with bright or reflective clothing.

Let’s all stay alert, model safe habits, and work together to keep every child safe on their walk to and from school. Did you know? Males account for more than 6 in 10 fatal pedestrian injuries among children.

Wishing all our friends a happy and safe back to school! 📚

This past weekend, we were out in the community at Savannah Impact Program sharing back to school safety tips!

Remember:

🍎 Arrive at the bus stop early and stand at least 10 feet away from the curb while waiting for the bus.

🍏 Always cross the street in front of the bus never behind! Wait for the driver to signal it is safe to cross.

🍎 Drivers: Be alert around school buses. Always stop for a bus with a stop arm, extended and flashing red lights!

Reminder: The first day of school for the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System is Monday, August 3rd.

SPD is asking all Savannah drivers to be alert, careful, and watch for children heading back to school.

School's will be back open starting Monday! The greatest risk to a child isn’t riding a school bus but approaching or leaving one. That’s why as a driver; it is especially important to pay attention and slow down. Students’ lives are on the line. 🍎🎒✏️
