Greenbrier County Schools reminds families that Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday, November 3, at 2 a.m. Please remember to "fall back" by setting your clocks back one hour.
🎃 Happy Halloween, Students! 🎃
As you get ready for a night of fun and frights, here are some tips to ensure you stay safe:
-Travel in Groups: There’s safety in numbers. Stick with your friends and look out for each other.
-Stay Visible: Wear bright costumes or add reflective tape to your outfit. Carry a flashlight to help you see and be seen.
-Check Your Treats: Before diving into your candy haul, make sure to inspect all treats for any signs of tampering.
-Respect Others: Be mindful of your neighbors and their property. Not everyone celebrates Halloween, so be courteous.
-Stay on the Path: Stick to well-lit streets and avoid shortcuts through alleys or unlit areas.
-Emergency Contacts: Have a plan and know how to reach your friends or family if you get separated.
-Have a spooktacular time, but remember, safety first! 🕸️👻
