To get the most out of Trick or Treating, be safe and use Good Common Sense. Listed below are some general safety tips.
Be sure your parents know where you are going.
Go with a group or 3 or more people.
If you feel unsafe, take along an adult.
Do NOT ride a bicycle. Your costume could get hung up in it.
Carry a Flash Light.
Walk on a sidewalk.
If a sidewalk is not available, walk on the left side of the road facing traffic.
Cross busy streets at an intersection or cross walk.
Be sure to look both ways (2 times) before crossing the street.
Walk, don't run.
Take off your mask while walking from house to house.
It is a good idea to wear clothing with reflective tape.
If you wear a mask, be sure you can see out of it clearly.
Be very cautious of STRANGERS.
Only stop by houses that have their front porch light on.
Accept treats only in the doorway. NEVER go into the house.
Let your parents check your treats before you eat them.
NEVER eat unwrapped candy, opened candy or fruit given to you on Halloween.

Before children start out on their "trick or treat" rounds, parents should:
Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for children under age 12.
Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow. Know the names of older children's companions. Set a time limit.
Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route.
Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well-lit and never to enter a stranger's home.
Feed the kids before they go so they will be less likely to eat the treats before they get home. Warn them not to eat anything before you inspect it.
Review all appropriate trick-or-treat safety precautions, including pedestrian/traffic safety rules.
Pin a slip of paper with the child's name; address and phone number inside a pocket in case the child gets separated from the group.
Welcome trick-or-treaters with your porch lights and any exterior lights on.
Patrol your street occasionally to discourage speeding motorists, acts of malicious mischief and crimes against children.
Report any suspicious or criminal activity to your police department immediately; you can dial 9-1-1.
Candlelit jack-o-lanterns should be kept clear of doorsteps and landings.
Consider using flashlights instead of candles to light jack-o-lanterns.
Keep pets away from doors so children will not become frightened.

Trate de ir para Broma-o-Convite (Trick-or-Treating) cuando todavía no ha oscurecido
Use un disfraz que le permita caminar, ver, y ser visto fácilmente
Si tiene que salir por la noche, asegúrese que su disfraz es de un color claro
Lleve contigo una linterna para poder ver y ser visto fácilmente
Use cinta reflectante en su disfraz para que las personas que están guiando puedan verlo
Una máscara puede causar que no vea bien. Quítese la máscara antes de cruzar la calle
¿Por qué no usa maquillaje en vez de la máscara?
Pídale a su padre o madre o guardián que vaya con usted para Broma-o-Convite
Sólo vaya a las casas que tienen las luces del portal prendidas o las luces del exterior prendidas
Escoja de antemano la ruta que va a tomar. Escoja las calles que están bien iluminadas
Si usted quiere participar en Trick-or-Treating deje iluminadas las luces del portal o las luces exteriores de su casa
Cruce la calle solamente en las esquinas. Nunca cruce la calle entre autos que están estacionados o en el medio de la manzana
Si no hay acera, camine en dirección opuesta al tránsito
Espere hasta que llegue a su casa para separar las golosinas en clases, comprobar si no hay peligro en comerlas y comerlas.

Antes de que los niños comiencen su jornada de “trato o truco,” los padres deben:
Cerciórese que un adulto o un adolecente responsable esté supervisando la excursión de niños menores de 12 anos.
Planifique y hablen de la ruta que van a seguir para pedir dulces. Conozcan los nombres de los ninos mayores que van a acompanar sus niños. Ponles un tiempo fijo cuando tienen que regresar a casa.
Dile a sus niños que solo pueden estar en áreas conocidas y caminar sobre las calles despejaras y iluminaras.
Enseñelea sus niños a llegar solomante a casas o los edificios de apartamento que esten bien iluminados y que nunca a entrar en la casa de un extrano.
Alimente sus ninos antes de que se vayan, así habra menos posibilidades de que se coman los dulces antes de regrezar a casa. Adviértales que no coman nada antes de que usted lo examine.
Repase todas las medidas de segurida para “Trato o Truco”, incluyendo reglas de seguridad para peatónes/ tránsito.
Ponga en el bolsillo de su nino un papel con el nombre del niño; dirección y número de teléfono, en caso de que el niño se pierda o separe del grupo.
De la bienvenida a otros ninos a su casa con luces en el pórtico o cualquier otras luces exteriores encendidas.
Patrulle su calle de vez en cuando para evitar que vehiculos no corren en alto velocidad, y evitar cualquier acto malicioso contra niños.
Reporte inmediatamente cualquier actividad sospechosa o criminal al departamento de policía; usted puede marcar 9-1-1.
Las objetos con candelas adentro deben permanecer lejos de los umbrales de las puertas.
Considere el usar de linternas en vez de velas para poner a dentro de los objetos.
Mantenga a los animales domésticos lejos de las puertas, así los niños no se asustarán.

School Bus Safety Tips for Parents
Getting Ready for School
Have your children put everything they carry in a backpack or school bag so that they won´t drop things along the way.
Have them wear bright, contrasting colors so they will be more easily seen by drivers.
Make sure they leave home on time so they can walk to the bus stop and arrive before the bus is due. Running can be dangerous.
Walking to the Bus Stop
Walk your young child to the bus stop and have older children walk in groups. There is safety in numbers; groups are easier for drivers to see.
Practice good pedestrian behavior: walk on the sidewalk, if there is no sidewalk, stay out of the street.
If you must walk in the street, walk single file, face traffic and stay as close to the edge of the road as you can.
Stop and look left, right and then left again if you must cross the street. Do the same thing at driveways and alleys. Exaggerate your head turns and narrate your actions so your child knows you are looking left, right and left.
Waiting at the Bus Stop
Don´t let your child play running games or push and shove at the bus stop. It is dangerous near traffic.
Make sure your child stands at least 10 feet (5 giant steps) from the road while waiting for the bus. The child will then be out of the way of traffic. Have younger children practice taking 5 giant steps to become familiar with 10 feet.
Getting On and Off the Bus
Warn children that, if they drop something, they should never pick it up. Instead, they should tell the driver and follow the driver´s instructions. If they bend over to pick up a dropped object, they might not be seen by the driver and could be hurt if the driver pulls away from the stop
Remind children to look to the right before they step off the bus. Drivers in a hurry sometimes try to sneak by busses on the right.
Teach your children to secure loose drawstrings and other objects that may get caught in the handrail or door of the bus as they are exiting.
Give your child a note or follow your school´s procedures if you would like for the child to get off at a stop other than the one they are assigned. The driver isn´t allowed to let a child off at another stop without written permission.
If you meet your child at the bus stop after school, wait on the side where the child will be dropped off, not across the street. Children can be so excited at seeing you after school that they dash across the street and forget the safety rules.
Riding the Bus
Children should talk quietly, be courteous to the driver and follow the driver´s instructions.
Children should stay seated during the entire bus ride and keep the aisles clear.
