The crossing guard stationed at the front of F.E. Bellows is being moved from the crosswalk on Carroll Avenue directly in front of the FEB entrance to the crosswalk at the intersection of Carroll Avenue and Route 1/Boston Post Rd. The hours of coverage will remain the same and new pedestrian crossing signs will be posted at the FEB crosswalk on Carroll Ave. The change will take place beginning on Tuesday, October 15th. Drivers are reminded that pedestrians have the right of way in all crosswalks and at intersections with marked or unmarked crosswalks as per New York State law.

NYS has enacted a new law that requires schools to give communities warning about when SAFETY DRILLS will be happening. This is being done in an effort to mitigate potential anxiety for learners, parents and caregivers. Though schools may not release the exact time of the drill, they can give a window of time for the drill.

• Type of Drill: Gas Leak
• Time Frame: Week of October 15th.
