Students may come to school dressed in their Halloween costumes Friday, October 30th, but. . . .
* * NO MASKS, SWORDS, KNIVES, GUNS, ETC. MAY BE WORN! * *
SAFETY TIPS: Walk, slither, & sneak on sidewalks – not in the street
Look both ways before crossing the street – check for cars
Cross the street only at corners
Don’t hide or cross the street between parked cars
Wear light-colored or reflective-type clothing
Put reflective tape on bikes, skateboards, & brooms
Carry a flashlight
Keep away from open fires & candles – costumes can be highly flammable
Only visit those homes that have the porch light on
Accept your treats at the door & never go into a stranger’s house
Use face paint rather than masks or things that will cover your eyes
Be cautious of animals & strangers
HAVE A GROWN-UP INSPECT YOUR TREATS BEFORE EATING. DON’T EAT ANY CANDY IF THE PACKAGE IS ALREADY OPENED. Small hard pieces of candy are a choking hazard for young children.

LYONS ELEMENTARY LOVES OUR STUDENTS!
STUDENT SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST CONCERN!
PLEASE:
DO NOT SPEED – drive slowly & cautiously – children
do not always remember to stop & look for cars
DO NOT block driveways – be courteous of our neighbors
DO NOT park on sidewalks – blocking the sidewalk forces
children & parents to walk in the street, a safety hazard.
DO NOT drop students off in staff parking lot – use
designated drop off areas where staff are waiting to assist your children
