Back to School,Back to Safety

Protecting what matters most this school year.

As summer winds down and families prepare for the new school year, there's more to consider than just school supplies and schedules. From bus stops to backpacks, now is the perfect time to check in on your family's safety and your insurance coverage. At The Whorton Agency, we're here to ensure you and your loved ones are protected as the school year begins.
The back-to-school season brings increased traffic from car-rider lines, bus stops, and young drivers heading to class. It's a great time to review your auto insurance coverage and be mindful of potential hazards on the road.
Transportation safety is essential for keeping yourself and others safe. Drive cautiously in school zones, watch for pedestrians in crosswalks, and always remain alert during your commute. For teen drivers, reinforce safe habits: obey speed limits, never text while driving, and always buckle up.
If your student is heading to college this year, ensure your insurance reflects the change. Whether they are moving out of state or leaving their car at home for the semester, your auto policy may need updating.
Additionally, don't overlook renters' insurance. It's a simple and effective way to protect your student's belongings in a dorm or apartment in case of theft, fire, or other unexpected events. Protecting their items also protects your peace of mind.
A new school year brings change, excitement, and growth, and a few risks along the way. But with the right protection in place, you can focus on what matters most: your family's success and safety.
​If you have questions about your coverage or would like a quick back-to-school insurance review, give The Whorton Agency a call. We're here to help you start the school year strong and secure.
