National Safety Month - Sun Protection Poster
Sun safety is one of the most crucial summer tips for kids. Sunscreen is essential for all skin tones and should be applied before going outside and reapplied after swimming or sweating. Wearing protective clothing, like sun hats and sunglasses, adds another layer of defense against harmful UV rays. Keep in mind that sunburns can happen even on cloudy days.
Wearing appropriate sun protection is a very important summer safety tip for kids. It is highly recommended that all kids wear sunscreen, regardless of skin tone. Applying sunscreen should be done before heading outdoors and should be reapplied after activities like swimming. Protective clothing is another form of sun protection for kids. Sun hats and shades keep heads cool and eyes shaded from the bright summer sun. However, it’s important to note that skin can get sunburned even on a cloudy day. Share this poster to help remind kids about this important safety tip on social media!
Note: You may want to avoid sunscreen that includes the ingredient octocrylene.

National Safety Month - Stay Hydrated Poster
With hotter weather and more time spent outdoors, it’s easy for kids to become dehydrated. One of the simplest ways to stay safe in summer is to encourage students to carry a reusable water bottle and drink regularly throughout the day. The recommended amount of daily fluid intake varies, but this table offers helpful guidance based on age.
Visual cues are also helpful in getting kids’ attention. Rise Vision digital signage software is a great way to put posters like this on a rotating schedule, to keep these summer safety tips top of mind for students.

National Safety Month - Online Safety Poster
Whether students are taking online classes or just using the internet during summer downtime, online safety is just as important as physical safety. This poster highlights two essential reminders for K-12 students:
- Never share private information like your home address or birth date.
- Always ask for permission before making any purchases online.
Keep students safe wherever they are—even online.

National Safety Month - Bike Helmet Posters
Riding bikes, scooters, and skateboards is a favorite summer activity—but safety must come first. Helmets significantly reduce the risk of serious head injury, so it’s important to teach students to always wear one. Choosing the right fit matters even more than choosing the coolest style.
These posters are a great way to reinforce the message at school—and the vertical versions even double as fun phone wallpapers. Bright colors and positive messages make them both educational and kid-friendly.

Safety In Schools
Summer safety tips are important for students in the summer, but schools need to prioritize safety throughout the school year. Digital signage is a critically important tool in ensuring that safety notifications and alerts are displayed where you need them, exactly when you need them most. Rise Vision digital signage software integrates with the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP Alerts) system to help schools share emergency notifications and information. Getting CAP Alerts set up on your digital signage is very easy. When it’s set up, you’ll be able to send notifications about:
- Severe Weather
- Emergencies (eg. Fire)
- Safety Reporting
The effects of the global pandemic require schools to now post notices and reminders to students about social distancing requirements, mask-wearing, and room capacity limitations. Rise Vision digital signage software is the best ally to make posting these notifications painless and fast. Learn more about getting emergency notifications set up on your digital signage.
The free National Safety Month posters are available in both landscape and portrait orientations in JPEG and PDF file formats. This gives lots of options for sharing this information with students, whether online through slide decks, on social media, or in emails. The portrait-oriented posters also do double-duty as phone backgrounds! Of course, they can also be printed out and used in classrooms. Also, with Rise Vision cloud-based digital signage solution, these posters can be accessed as free templates that can be shared on digital signage throughout your school.
