Crossing Guards

Each day, there are 26 locations in the Ken-Ton School District which are safeguarded by crossing guards. A total of 23 are staffed through the Town of Tonawanda Police Department and 3 additional locations are inside the village boundaries staffed by the Kenmore Police Department. Crossing guards play an important role by safeguarding the most dangerous intersections and helping to ensure that students can get to school safely. Crossing guards work in the morning and afternoon when students are traveling to and from school, no matter what the weather is like. Our crossing guards are known for their friendliness and their outstanding ability to engage students and families on their way to and from school. Representing Ken-Ton crossing guards today is Jackie Hare, a crossing guard through the Town of Tonawanda Police Department who is stationed at the intersection of Sheridan and Elmwood. Jackie was also instrumental in lobbying for a legislative proclamation through Assemblyman William Conrad designating May as NYS Crossing Guard Appreciation Month.
