Important Safety Reminder
The safety of our students is our top priority in Fort Bend ISD. With that in mind, we wanted to share important tips and information that will help keep our students safe as they travel to and from school.
As we near the time change on November 7, the morning commute for our student walkers and cyclists has been increasingly dark outside so please take extra precaution. We encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of staying safe on their route to and from school. Simple reminders are often the most effective and these tips are applicable at any time of day. Please remind your child of the following:
- Wear a helmet when riding a bicycle
- Add a light or reflector on bicycles
- Cyclists must obey motor vehicle laws including yielding to pedestrians, stopping for stop signs, signaling turns and traveling with the flow of traffic
- Stop and look both ways before crossing an intersection
- Always walk a bicycle across an intersection
- Stay on the sidewalk rather than riding or walking in a public street whenever possible
- Cross at a crosswalk or intersection as opposed to mid-block
- Always look for moving vehicles
As a reminder, once we return to school on November 8 following the time change, our evenings will get darker sooner. If your child stays at school for extracurricular activities, please share this helpful information with them so they are safe coming home.
