Island students head back to class on Thursday, and the RCMP is reminding parents and guardians to help their children be safe and use caution.
Safety tips being offered by the Mounties include showing your child a safe route to take if they’re walking to school; how to use crosswalks; avoid shortcuts; wait in a safe location for the school bus; and not run after a school bus to catch it as motorists and the bus driver may not see them.
The RCMP suggests you take the time to go over the safety tips that are important for your children.
