Halloween Safety Tips for Parents of Pre-Teens & Teens

Your teenager may no longer need your help dressing up as a super-hero, but it’s important to continue to be involved in your teen’s Halloween plans. Here are a few important safety tips and ideas from Day Middle School’s Nurse Gayle’s Newsletter:

• Find out where your teen is going, get the phone number, and agree on a time for him/her to be home
• Make sure adults will be present at parties your teen will attend
• Explain how Halloween pranks can be vandalism and result in serious consequences
• Remind your teen you don’t want him/her to use alcohol, drugs and tobacco
• Offer to drive your teen to where he/she wants to go for the night
• For teen drivers, remind them to watch carefully for young trick-or-treaters and drive slowly
• Give your teen reflective tape & a flashlight if he/she is going to be out trick or treating
