Revere Local Schools will open on

Wednesday, August 25th.  

Whether students walk, ride the bus or travel by car, teach your kids these few tips to ensure they get to and from school safely.  The Bath Police look forward to a safe opening week of school!

Tips for School Bus Riders

  • Do not play in the street while waiting for the bus.
  • Carry all loose belongings in a bag or backpack and never reach under the school bus to get anything that has rolled or fallen beneath it.
  • Line up facing the bus, not along side it.
  • Move immediately onto the sidewalk and out of traffic after getting off the bus.
  • Wait for a signal from the bus driver before crossing the street and walk at least 10 steps away from the front of the bus so the driver can see you.

Tips for Pedestrians or Bike Riders

  • Never walk alone – always travel with a buddy. Try and find a friend, or make a new friend in the neighborhood to walk to school or ride the bus with.
  • Wear reflective or bright color clothing to increase visibility.
  • Respect traffic lights and street signs.
  • Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.
  • Avoid loose fitting clothing that could get caught in spokes or pedals.

Tips for Car Drivers and Passengers

  • Make sure young children are in safety seats at all times, and that the seats have been properly installed.
  • All children under 13 years should ride in the rear seat of vehicles.
  • Remember that many crashes occur while novice teen drivers are going to and from school. You may want to limit the number of teen passengers to prevent driver distraction. Do not allow your teen to drive while eating, drinking, or talking on a cell phone.

Safe Drug Disposal

 

 

              The Bath Township Trustees are pleased to offer the Bath Township community the opportunity to safeguard our young adults and protect the local environment by using the “Going Green & Clean” drug disposal box in the Bath Center parking lot.

             The Going Green & Clean box provides a safe method for the disposal of expired or unwanted prescription medicines.  Improper disposal of medicines presents both a public safety and environmental hazard.

            Prescription drug abuse by teens and young adults is a serious problem in the United States.  As reported in the Partnership for a Drug Free America’s annual tracking study:

  • 1 in 5 teens has abused a prescription pain medication

  • 1 in 5 report abusing prescription stimulants and tranquilizers

  • 1 in 10 has abused cough medication.

            The environment is also being damaged by unused medicines.  Medicines thrown into the trash can leach into the ground; flushed drugs can kill bacteria that break down waste in sewage plants, damage septic systems, and contaminate nearby waterways and harm aquatic wildlife.

            A 2008 Associated Press investigation found pharmaceuticals in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.  Drugs have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan areas.

            Bath residents have the power to prevent teens from drug abuse and improve the cleanliness of our water.  Take unused and unwanted prescription and non-prescription medicine to the Bath Police Department parking lot at 3864 West Bath Road.  Keep medications in original bottles or packaging if possible.  Mark out your name and address on the prescription medicines.  Drop these items into the secure green box marked “Going Green & Clean”.

            The Bath Police Department will ensure these unwanted drugs are incinerated as part of the ecological and safe disposal protocol.  Together we will keep Bath safe!
