They also introduced a program that assists families by covering 50% of the cost of a child seat. Additionally, the discussion included pedestrian safety awareness and responsible driving near crosswalks.
The DFEMS Fire Prevention Team educated attendees on common fire safety practices, emphasizing electrical safety, household burning permits, and the importance of having functional fire extinguishers at home.

The ITDE Team, led by Director Dr. Lorraine Catienza, Instructional Technology Coach Dr. Riya Nathrani, and Enrollment and Data Specialist Kevin De Torres, highlighted the importance of managing screen time and utilizing parental control features available on digital devices. Their presentation also covered online safety tips, strategies for reducing and controlling one’s digital footprint, and the value of fostering family time over excessive screen use.
