School Pick-Up Safety Tips
All parents, whether they are walking or driving, can participate in several types of safety procedures for picking students up from school to ensure that everyone can leave school safely and easily.
- Arrange carpools if possible to minimize traffic near the school.
- Volunteer to help teachers and administrators direct traffic during peak pick up periods, or volunteer for crossing guard duties.
- If possible, avoid scheduling medical appointments or non-school activities immediately after school ends to minimize rushing.
- Try to pick students up five or ten minutes later to avoid the worst traffic congestion.
- Teach students to be responsible pedestrians and discourage horseplay and other dangerous behaviors near the pick up area.
- Most important, parents should be patient, respectful, and courteous to other drivers while they pick their students up from school. Anger and frustration can lead to careless, unsafe behavior, and being a positive role model can help students learn safe procedures.
