Our Safety Patrol program allows for students selected by the 5th Grade teachers and the school principals to develop leadership skills as well as respect, responsibility, and good character as they assist in various duties throughout the building. Patrol students are students that are organized, consistently have all work completed and all materials needed for class, and serve as leaders for their peers through their actions in and out of school.
Students work on alternate days dependent upon their band schedules and are rewarded with a pizza lunch during our scheduled Safety Patrol Quarterly Debrief Meetings. These are "working lunches" where we enjoy some food, fun, and discuss how things are going and/or any adjustments we need to make to aid them in performing their job duties. The kids LOVE it and Mr. D. is exhausted (help me :) but this program is great to teach service and responsibility as we support all of the students throughout the building.
Please encourage your child to keep making the right choices and keep following our school ABCs. We only have so many slots availble each year but you never know when we might need more patrollers....
Patrol Calendars and updates can be found in the Safety Patrol Google Classroom.
