Students arrive home 15 minutes early on Early Release Day

Fonda-Fultonville Central School will hold its annual Early Release Day on Friday, Nov. 20. Students will be released from school and arrive home 15 minutes earlier than usual. Parents of small children are asked to make appropriate arrangements to accommodate the change in schedule.

New York State requires all school districts to hold Early Release Day as practice for an emergency evacuation. 

Texting—it’s no big deal?

Trooper Wittner shares the following:

New studies show that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask behind the wheel. Do you wonder how distracting texting can be? Check out this game designed to demonstrate the potential consequences of distractions—like texting—on your driving ability. The game measures how your reaction time is affected by external distractions. Regardless of your results, experts say, you should not attempt to text when driving. (As with all games, intense levels of concentration or repetition can lead to more successful outcomes.)

Thanks to all who made the Class of 2013 BBQ a success

"Make-your-own" items temporarily removed from high school menus

The high school cafeteria will discontinue serving "Make-your-own" entrees until the flu season passes. The change will begin with the October menu (Monday, Oct. 5). "We regret having to make this decision, but the risk of spreading the flu greatly increases with the use of shared utensils such as those spoons and tongs found on the 'make-your-own' bars in our cafeteria," said District Superintendent Dr. James Hoffman. "As soon as the risk of flu decreases, we will put these popular items back on our menu."

Sending teens a life-saving message

The New York State Police has developed a teen-focused safety effort to address high fatality rates and low seatbelt use rates among teenagers.  This effort is founded on the fact that motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of teenagers AND that 55 percent of teenagers who die in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.  The focus of this initiative is to educate teens on the facts of seatbelts and to encourage seatbelt use for all vehicle occupants, every trip, every time.

Back to School driving reminders

It is that time of the year when our kids head back to school.

Over the summer, a couple of things made driving safer. First, without school buses and kids on the road, there was less traffic. Second, the long days improved driving visibility. Together, these factors made it safer to drive.

But, summer fades into September, and school is back in session. The sun rises later and there are children on the side of the road waiting for their school bus. There is fog on cool mornings and school buses slowing the drive to work. As responsible drivers, we have to be more aware of our surroundings than we did during the summer months. (full story)
