As summer continues and families spend time at pools, beaches, and lakes, we encourage everyone to take a few moments to review important water safety information.

Student safety is always our top priority both inside the classroom and out in the community.

Beginning this school year, New York State requires all school districts to share essential water safety and drowning prevention resources with families. Whether your children are enjoying backyard pools, visiting Western New York's beautiful lakes or heading to the beach, practicing safe habits and maintaining active supervision can help prevent unnecessary tragedies.
