Safe Passage

Please take the time to remind all children of important safety tips and to "be smart" when walking home from school and playing outdoors.

The Schenectady City School District conducts trainings and provides our students with information to help keep them safe and make safe decisions.  We ask you to join with us by talking to your children every day and reinforcing the be smart tips:
