Back to School Safety
Back to School Safety
As the summer draws to an end, it’s time to prepare you and your child to go back to school. Being prepared is key to having an optimal learning environment. Here are some tips and reminders to make this school year a great one.
Parents: Be cautious when driving through school zones. When you see a school bus, use extra caution and watch for darting children.
- Make sure your child knows his/her name, home phone number and address.
- Go over safety and stranger danger rules- If you don’t have a “code word” establish one now and teach your child about only going with adults who know the code word.
- Get to know your children’s friends.
- Make sure your child knows playground etiquette as well as being patient and taking turns.
If you are a parent with older children:
- If your child is staying home for the first time, talk to your children about rules for staying home alone and establish guidelines for when it is acceptable to answer the door or telephone.
- Reinforce to your child to remain aware of their surroundings when alone.
- Talk to your child about their day, classes, activities and friends.
- Teach your child about setting goals and time management.

“Junk Waste” is defined as items such as furniture, appliances, and other bulky material.
Tree Waste is accepted during Junk Waste Months; however, to ensure your Tree Waste is recycled, you may hold your tree waste materials until the next Tree Waste designated month or take it to a Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center.
Junk Waste months are February, April, June, August, October and December.
Juvenile Curfew – HPD

TPC Group Operations Update – June 5, 2014
This is an update to notify our neighbors that the ALL CLEAR was sounded at approximately 1:30 p.m. in response to a bomb threat received earlier this morning. In order to ensure the safety of all team members and surrounding area, we activated the necessary plans which include notifying local authorities. A thorough sweep of the facility was conducted. HPD Bomb Squad did not find anything of concern. All personnel have returned to their work location and operations resume as normal.

Take a look; our community in action
BEFORE (306 Christine)
Community empowerment begins from within — today a group of volunteers set out to clean out this abandoned lot, and it turned out great. Take a moment to look at the pictures and notice the difference.
Ask not what your community can do for you, but what you can do for your community. Tomorrow the abandon lot cleaning will continue, please refer to our previous post for more information on how to sign up to help with this project.
