I plan on moving myself and children there hopefully by February. Will it still be safe there for me and the kids. Are schools safe. I am quite worried.

Aw, how I love these answers like "sure, its safe"...

Your sense of safety will depend on a lot of things. Where are you going to live, where your kids are going to school, are you going to work and where, are you going to live alone or with an egyptian husband...
The way to school for example is not very safe, last week we had two major accidents involving school kids and students. Accidents are killer number one in Egypt, no terrorist can kill this number of people every.single.day! I personally wouldnt like to send my kids to school via Ring road for example...

Just days before Halloween, the U.S. Embassy emailed a security alert to Americans in Egypt.
