It's finally time to go back to school! Tomorrow, our schools will be open with some students in attendance. Officer Plowman and our SRO, Officer Schneider, wanted to show you a simple way you can share the excitement of the first day while keeping your child safe.

It is amazing how we can share our kiddos' milestones with all our friends and family online, but it is important to remain mindful of what information is posted.

As a precaution, it's important to avoid posting information about your child's name, their age, the school they are attending, their teacher's name, the classroom number, their bus route, and any other information that could give away your child's location to strangers on the internet.

It is important to make sure we protect our children while sharing the excitement of the first day of school.

Have a safe school year!

Heat Advisory 🔥

Leavenworth has been placed under a heat advisory from 1p.m. to 8p.m. on Monday.

What does this mean? Unfortunately, we all know what this means by now. It’s going to be very hot outside.

What does this impact? The hot temperatures and high humidity of today can be the cause of heat related illnesses.

What precautions can be taken? Make sure to drink plenty of fluids (that means water) and try to stay in air-conditioned rooms. Try not to stay outside in the sun for long periods of time. If you do spend time outside today, wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. The best times to go outside for activities will be early morning and late evening, when the heat won’t be as bad so the rest of the day.

Watch out for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Stay safe during the heat!
