Avon Lake Safety Town Program
Safety Town is a fun, hands-on program that helps children learn important safety skills and real-life lessons. It’s designed for kids entering kindergarten in the fall who meet the Avon Lake City Schools age requirement—turning 5 by August 18, 2026.
Each day features a new theme, covering areas such as traffic and pedestrian safety, stranger and drug awareness, bicycle and animal safety, home safety, emergency phone use, interactions with police, fire safety, school bus and seatbelt safety, and outdoor and water safety.
The program takes place at Westview Elementary School, located at 155 Moore Road. One of the primary goals is to help each child learn to state their full name, address, and phone number. Children will receive guidance on how to protect themselves from strangers and meet the professionals who provide safety services in our community. Participants will also ride an actual school bus and learn about school bus safety.
A dedicated team—including two adult teachers and several youth volunteers from the community—will teach and guide participants each day. Weather permitting, part of the day will be spent outdoors in a miniature town featuring crosswalks, traffic signals, and sidewalks, where children will practice safety skills while riding supervised kit cars. The remainder of the day will be spent indoors focusing on additional safety lessons.
Safety Town sessions will be held rain or shine.
NEW THIS YEAR: Students now have the option to register their bicycles with the Avon Lake Police Department. Bike registration helps officers quickly identify and return lost or stolen bicycles to their owners. During program registration, you can complete the optional bike registration form and will receive an official bike registration sticker during the program to take home and place on their bicycle. By providing basic information—such as the bike’s make, model, color, and number of speeds—you create a record that can be accessed if your bike is ever recovered. Registration is quick, free, and a simple way to help protect your property. Note: Do not bring your bike to Safety Town.
