Hope everyone is enjoying fall activities in this wonderful weather! Please review these tips for a safe and happy Halloween!
🎃 Halloween Safety Tips for Families
Halloween is an exciting time for our students, filled with costumes, candy, and fun! As you prepare for trick-or-treating and other Halloween festivities, we encourage you to take a few simple precautions to help keep your children safe. A little planning can make a big difference in ensuring everyone has a fun and memorable Halloween!
👻 Costume Safety
Choose costumes that fit properly to prevent tripping and falling.
Use bright colors or add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags to help children be seen.
Make sure masks do not block your child's vision. Face paint is a great alternative!
Avoid costumes with sharp or dangerous accessories. If props are used, make sure they do not look like real weapons.
🎃 Trick-or-Treating Safety
Carry a flashlight or glow stick to help children see and be seen.
Walk on sidewalks whenever possible. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
Always look both ways before crossing the street, and use crosswalks whenever available.
Remind children to stay with their group and never enter a stranger's home or vehicle.
🍬 Candy Safety
Remind children not to eat candy until an adult has inspected it.
Check treats for damaged packaging, open wrappers, or anything that looks unusual.
Be mindful of food allergies and review ingredients before allowing children to enjoy their treats.
Encourage moderation when enjoying Halloween goodies!
🚗 Driving Safety
Be especially cautious when driving through neighborhoods on Halloween evening.
Drive slowly and watch carefully for children who may dart into the street.
Avoid distractions and be extra alert at intersections and crosswalks.
🧡 A Final Reminder
Halloween is a wonderful opportunity for families to make special memories together. Please take time to review these safety tips with your children and remind them that making safe choices is just as important as having fun!
From all of us at Six Mile Elementary, we wish your family a spooktacular, safe, and happy Halloween!
Go Eagles! 🦅

Best of the Nest
Each month our school focuses on a character trait for our students. Mrs. Orr goes into classrooms and teaches lessons to develop this trait. We also talk about it on the school news program.
This month our word is INTEGRITY. We will honor students that show this at our Best of the Nest party at the end of the month.
