Halloween Trick or Treating: Plan The Route
No matter how old your trick or treater, plan the route in advance and go over safety precautions.
Kids Backpack Safety
Students should carry no more than 15-20% of their body weight in a backpack or they may risk injury. Keep in mind that the average textbook can weigh around 5 lbs as you see the statistics below.
Student Weight Maximum # of Textbooks
75 lbs 3 books
100 lbs 4 books
125 lbs 5 books
150 lbs 6 books
Take Water Breaks
Take water breaks. If your child complains about dizziness, headache, nausea or muscle cramps, he or she could be overheated or at risk for heat-related illness.
School Shootings & Building Design
Schools have been preparing for shootings like the one yesterday in Troutdale, Oregon. Due to the tragic Newtown, CT school shootings, some local cities and towns are keeping security in mind as they design new school buildings. For example, Newton, MA’s new Angier Elementary School building was supposed to have their kindergarten classrooms on the ground floor so these smaller kids could have easier access. After the Sandy Hook shootings, the City of Newton decided to move all classrooms at the Angier Elementary School to the second and third floors.
Helmets
Helmets prevent 85% of head injuries. Have your child wear a helmet any time they are on wheels. This is true whether it is a bike, scooter, roller skates, inline skates or skateboard.
Best Bike Protection For Kids
With bike theft on the rise, children need to protect their prized possession. Police suggest using a combination of U-locks and cable locks to maximize bicycle protection.
Bike Theft & Kids
If your child rides a bike to school (or rides a bike at all for that matter), have them use a U-lock. Police claim that U-locks are the most effective locks for preventing theft.
Tomorrow we will take a look at what police say is the overall best way to keep your children’s bicycles safe from thieves.
Bicycle Theft At School
Unfortunately some students that ride their bikes to school have had them stolen. Many towns have found the statistics to this growing problem staggering. In fact in the town of Brookline MA, police have reported that between 60 and 80 bicycles are stolen there each year!
Come back tomorrow for ways your kids can protect their bicycles from being taken by criminals.
ALICE School Security Controversy
After the Newtown, CT school shootings, schools have had to beef up security. Besides cameras and locked doors, some schools are turning to a new controversial method to keep our kids safe. Some school systems are turning to ALICE (Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate) which is a training program offered by a Texas based company that promotes alternatives to staying put when a gunman enters a school. Tomorrow we will uncover details about this controversial program.
