Emmetsburg Community School District

June is National Safety Month, and it’s a great time to review simple ways to help keep students and families safe all summer long! 🌞

✅ Drink plenty of water and take breaks from the heat.

✅ Wear sunscreen and reapply often when spending time outdoors.

✅ Use helmets when riding bikes, scooters, or skateboards.

✅ Follow pool, lake, and water safety rules, and always supervise children near water.

✅ Look both ways before crossing the street, and use crosswalks whenever possible.

Wishing our students, staff, and families a safe, healthy, and fun summer!
