Mrs. Larson's Top 10 Safety Tips for Summer
2. Sunscreen!
3. Wear a life jacket when you are on the water and never go swimming without an adult present, even if you are an experienced swimmer.
4. Make sure to stay properly buckled in on family road trips (and all other times in the car).
5. Tell your parents where you are going to play and remember that the river and coulee should only be visited with adults present!
6. If you have your own cell phone, set up a safety "code word" with your parents. If you find yourself in a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can text your code word to ask for help.
7. If you see a firearm that is not locked up, do NOT touch it and tell an adult immediately (see link to document below).
8. Social Media can be a great way to stay in touch with friends, but sometimes it is used inappropriately. Tell a grownup if you see something online that makes you uncomfortable: words, images, or bullying behavior.
9. There is safety in numbers! Playing outside and at the park is safer with friends than playing alone.
10. Know your address and have plans for emergencies! Do you have access to a phone? If not, which neighbor would you go to? Have plans in case of fire, tornadoes, and health emergencies.
