STUDENT SAFETY AND SEX OFFENDER NOTIFICATIONS

The District is committed to the safety of all students and children in our community. When the Nassau County Police Department notifies the District that a registered sex offender is living in the area, the Superintendent ensures that this information is shared with staff, security personnel, and relevant community members in accordance with New York State law.

Sex offenders are classified by risk level:

  • Level 1: Low risk
  • Level 2: Moderate risk
  • Level 3: High risk

Staff are trained and security procedures, including visitor protocols, are strictly enforced.

ACCESSING SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION

  • NYS Sex Offender Registry: Search online for Level 2 and 3 offenders at NYS Sex Offender Registry.
  • Level 1 and other offenders: Call 800-262-3257, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. You will need the individual’s name and one of the following: exact address, date of birth, driver’s license number, or Social Security number.

For families without internet access, you may request information through your child’s school or principal.

Anyone who observes a registered sex offender on school property or near areas where children gather should immediately contact local law enforcement and the Superintendent’s Office.

TALKING WITH YOUR CHILD ABOUT PERSONAL SAFETY

An illustration shows a bear and cub enjoying hot chocolate, with text promoting 'Hot Chocolate Talk'.We encourage families to have age-appropriate conversations with their children about personal safety. The goal is not to alarm children, but to help them develop skills to recognize and respond to potential danger, including interactions with strangers. Research shows that talking openly about safety is one of the most effective ways to prevent sexual abuse, but we know it can feel challenging to know what to say.

To support these conversations, we are sharing free resources from the Committee for Children’s Hot Chocolate Talk campaign. A “Hot Chocolate Talk” is a warm, welcoming conversation between a parent or caregiver and a child about personal safety, designed to encourage honesty and trust. Use the links below to access guidance on the facts and practical ways to start these important safety conversations. These resources can help you start meaningful discussions that empower your child to stay safe.
