There is nothing more important than safety. It is our responsibility to help prepare our students to be as safe as possible and promote healthy interactions while out in the community. Jordan School District has been collaborating with the Region PTA on Safety/Green Ribbon Month, which will be September.
All elementary schools are encouraged to participate in this PTA led program, which focuses on education, awareness and prevention of pedestrian/motor vehicle crash injuries.
The PTA will have a packet that consists of:
- Safety Related Facts
- Potential Safety/Green Ribbon Month Activities
- Helpful Safety/Green Ribbon Month Hints
- Student and Driver Pledges
- Utah Department of Health Questionnaire
The Jordan School District Transportation Department and Office of Communications have produced an exciting bus safety video, available at: https://youtu.be/Fr5Ciiox0Vw
The JSD Office of Communications produced a Reunification video to be shown to parents/guardians to inform them on protocol and expectations for reunifying them with students following an emergency/disruption to school. This video is available on the District Web site under the Parents & Students tab, by selecting General Information, then Student Safety & Safe Walking Routes. The Be a Safety Super Hero video is also located on this Web page and can be shown to students during Safety/Green Ribbon Month and anytime in the future to reinforce safe behavior.
Both videos can be found at: http://auxiliaryservices.jordandistrict.org/school-safety-security/student-safety/
