Boo! 12 Tips for Playing it Safe this Halloween

Boo! It’s the spookiest night of the year. But to avoid a night of real-life horrors this Halloween and keep your little ghouls and goblins safe, we offer these Trick-or-Treating tips, courtesy of Canyons District’s Risk Management Coordinator Kevin Ray:

HALLOWEEN DRIVING TRICKS TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE

  • Put the phone down!
  • Stay well below the posted speed limit.
  • Pay attention to what’s happening on sidewalks and roadways. Watch for children darting across streets, especially between parked cars.
  • Be extra alert when pulling in and out of driveways.
  • Do not assume children can see you or are paying attention.
  • Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. They could be dropping off children.
  • If you are driving to a Halloween party, put that mask on after you park the car.

TIPS FOR THOSE ON THE ROAD IN SEARCH OF ‘TREATS’

  • Make sure drivers see the children. Give them flashlights and glow sticks. Dress kids in bright, reflective clothing or use reflective tape on their costumes.
  • Use makeup rather than masks, so children have a clear unobstructed view of their surroundings.
  • Be sure children know how to cross a street –look left, right, and left again before crossing.
  • Instruct children to stay on sidewalks and to cross only at corners or crosswalks.
  • Accompany your children as they trick or treat.

Note to CSD employees: Trick-or-treaters can start their night of sugar-fueled merry-making at Canyons District’s two administration buildings, CAB-East and CAB-West. Employees can bring their costumed little ones to the District Offices between 2:30 and 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31 to make their way from office to office to fill their bags with treats.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
