Friday, May 25th HAWAIIAN DAY!

Dear Golden View Families and Friends,              

Last week, as we all turned our thoughts to our children’s safe passage to and from school, I was reminded that I should provide a “refresher” for you so that we may keep your children safe while they are here with us.

Here are a few important things to remember:

1. Keep your emergency contact numbers updated. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched Dennice try to contact a parent when a child is sick or injured, only to find that the emergency numbers we have been given have been disconnected or are incorrect. Accuracy at registration is vital, but so is keeping us in the loop if you change jobs, change cell phone numbers, or if the neighbor you listed as a secondary contact has moved away.
    
2. Be aware of our check-out procedure in the event of an emergency.  (You might want to print this out and post it on the fridge!)
3. In the event of an evacuation, we will be setting up a command station on the blacktop behind the school. The children will be in grade alike groups on the blacktop nearby or on the field.
    
4. Please enter the school grounds through the parking lot behind the Multi-Purpose Room.
    
5. Proceed to the student check-out station (tables set up near the command station), where our staff will take your name and the name of the student(s) you wish to pick up.
    
6. Staff will BRING the child(ren) to you. Please do not try to circumvent the staff who need to check out your child(ren) and ensure that they are being released to an authorized adult. Do NOT take your child out of his/her line without going through staff at the check out station.
    
7. This process takes time. Your patience will be needed.
    
8. Each child has a name lanyard, which contains a list of parents to whom they may be released. Your name must be on the list.
    
9. You will be asked to sign your name on the lanyard to indicate that the child was released to you. We collect the lanyard when your child is released to you.
    
10. Above all, remain calm. Your child will take his/her cues from you.

Thank you for working with us to ensure your child’s safety at school.

Sincerely,

Nancy White

Senate Bill 929 requires that children riding in any vehicle  must be restrained in the back seat in a child restraint until their 8th birthday.

After January 1, 2012 children will be required to remain in their car seats or boosters until they reach the age of 8 years old.  After January 1, 2012, non-compliance will result in a fine of nearly $500.00 and a point on your driver’s record.

Four Key Safety Points

1. Restrain your child on every trip, every time!
2. Keep your child in the back seat!
3. Use the best safety restraint for your child’s size.
4. Use the child safety seat and belts correctly.

5-Step Test….Can your child…

1. sit with their back flat up against the vehicle seat
2. while their knees are bent naturally over the seat cushion edge
3. with the lap belt across their hip or thigh bones
4. and the shoulder belt across their shoulder (not crossing over their face or under their arm or behind their back)
5. and, can they stay seated in that position the entire trip?

If your child is over 8 years old but cannot achieve all 5 steps listed above, they need to remain in a booster seat!

For more information regarding these changes, please contact the Danville or San Ramon Police Departments.
