Back to School


 

Another school year is just around the corner.  The Howard County Sheriff's Department wants to help keep you and your family safe.  Here are some safety tips and reminders.

1.  If your child walks to school, plan the route to and from your child's school and keep it as simple as possible.

2.  Walk the route with your child and remind them to look both ways while crossing the street. 

3.  Don't let your child walk alone , there is safety in numbers.

4.  Make sure your child knows important phone numbers.

5.  Remind children if they ride a bike they must obey traffic laws.

6.  When transporting your children everyone must wear their seat belts.

7.  While riding on the school bus everyone should sit down and face forward/keep arms and heads inside the bus.

8.  Cell phone use is prohibited in school zones.

 

City Officers, Howard County Sheriff's Deputies and Arkansas State Police Officers will be working traffic around the schools in Howard County.  Having a safe school year requires everyone to think safety.
