Our Purpose
School safety patrols are an important part of the well-being of the student body. Safety patrols learn more than traffic safety habits, they also develop alertness, dependability, leadership qualities, and a sense of community. The primary role of each safety patrol is to protect students from traffic hazards, remind students of the safety rules, and assist students in crossing the street safely. Patrol members should never attempt to direct or stop traffic. The duty of the patrol member is to direct children not traffic.
Use and Care of Equipment
Proper care of issued equipment is the responsibility of the patrol member. Belts, badges, and ponchos are provided at considerable expense. Patrols will be required to keep and maintain their issued equipment in good condition all year. If an item is lost or damaged, there will be a $20.00 charge for each item.
Inclement Weather
In the event there is rain during arrival and dismissal times, outside patrols will be required to wear the yellow patrol ponchos. These items are stored in a designated location and will be shown to all patrols. If the decision is made to wear ponchos, all patrols must adhere to that decision.
