The safety of our students and staff is always our number one priority. We have safety procedures in place that are practiced throughout the year in the presence of a Problem Oriented Police Officer, and continuously reviewed with law enforcement.

Our Bellmore community has been challenged in so many ways over the past several weeks. As always, administrators, staff and mental health teams are available and prepared to respond to the needs of students and parents.
