Role of the School Safety Patrol

School Safety Patrol members are school-sponsored student volunteers in the 5th Grade.

Patrollers direct children, not traffic. As school-age leaders in traffic safety, patrol members teach other students about traffic safety on a peer-to-peer basis. They also serve as models for younger children, who look up to them.

School Safety Patrol members:

• Attend training for etiquette of the American flag.
• Teach fellow students about traffic safety.
• Serve in other leadership roles under the direction of school officials.

Typically, teachers and principals appoint patrol members, who participate with parental approval. Mr Mark Greenwood, the PE teacher, serves as the patrol advisor.
