2008 Back-to-School Safety Webpage

The South Carolina Highway Patrol encourages parents to talk with their children about the importance of safety before school starts. The back-to-school season is an opportune time to teach, motivate, practice and encourage safety habits as students travel to and from school. The information provided in this year’s “Back-to-School Safety” Packet covers information from child restraint systems to school zone safety. Please feel free to download these safety materials.
