Back-to-school season is here, and our team wants to help your family start the year safely. No matter how your kids get to school, a quick safety refresher can make a big difference.

Walking? Stick to sidewalks, use crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers, and walk with others when possible.

Biking? A well-fitted helmet is essential. Ride with traffic, stop fully before crossing, and choose routes with lighter traffic.

Taking the bus? Wait at least 6 feet from the curb, board only after a complete stop, and never walk around a bus without clear eye contact with the driver.

Getting dropped off? Follow school zone speed limits and your school's drop-off plan. Never pass a bus that is loading or unloading.

Teen drivers? Remind them to buckle up, keep devices away, and stay within speed limits.

We care about the safety of families throughout Horseheads and our surrounding communities. Have questions about coverage or back-to-school safety? Reach out to us anytime.

Ever wondered what actually happens to your payout after a covered loss? It often comes down to one key detail: whether your policy is based on replacement cost value or actual cash value.

These two approaches work very differently, and understanding the difference can help protect you from unexpected costs when it’s time to file a claim.

Our team at WJ Farmer Insurance Agency LLC is here to help you make sense of your home insurance, renters insurance, or any other personal or commercial coverage.

Not sure which option you have or which one fits your needs? Give us a call at (607) 796-0551 and let’s talk through it together.
