2026 Summer Safety Field Trip Checklist

Safety Field Trip Checklist

A 5-point safety resource for Austin's early childhood educators. Provided free by Rising Stars Tees — your neighborhood partner in safety and literacy.

The 'Visual Beacon' Rule

Choose ONE high-visibility color for the entire group. A unified Visual Wave lets teachers spot a student from 50 yards away in a crowded park.

The 'If Found' Protocol

Every child must carry your center's direct emergency contact. Use a standardized back-print: Center Name + Emergency Phone Number in bold. Every shirt becomes a safety tool at no extra cost.

The 'Staff Authority' Uniform

In a crowd, park rangers and security need to instantly identify who is in charge. Volunteers and staff wearing the same shirt creates confusion during emergencies. Use a distinct color or style for lead staff so authority is visible at a glance.

The 'D.O.C.I.E.' Headcount System

Count at the bus, at the entrance, before lunch, and before departure. Use the 'WATCH OUT!' call-and-response at every transition point. Designate Safety Superheroes among your students.

The 'Local Partner' Advantage

A field trip uniform crisis on Monday morning should never happen to your center. Rising Stars Tees is your neighbor — one call or one text away.
