Safety Patrol
Shugart Elementary’s 5th Grade Safety Patrol is a student leadership group that helps make morning arrival safe, welcoming, and organized. Safety Patrol members lead by example while assisting students and families as they arrive at school.
What Safety Patrol Does
Each morning, Safety Patrol members work alongside supervising staff to:
- Welcome students and families to Shugart.
- Assist students as they exit vehicles when it is safe to do so.
- Help younger students move safely toward the school entrance.
- Model kindness, respect, responsibility, and school pride.
- Follow the direction of supervising staff and help reinforce school safety expectations.
- Report safety concerns or problems to an adult.
Safety Comes First
Safety Patrol members are trained to STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, and GET AN ADULT whenever they are unsure about a situation. Students do not direct traffic, approach moving vehicles, enter vehicles, or handle unsafe situations on their own.
Student Leaders at Shugart
Being part of Safety Patrol is an opportunity for 5th graders to demonstrate leadership, dependability, and positive behavior. Members are expected to arrive on time for their assigned mornings, remain in their assigned areas, listen to supervising adults, and serve as positive role models for younger students.
Through their service, our Safety Patrol helps start each school day with a safe and welcoming environment for the entire Shugart community.
Lead by Example. Serve with Kindness. Keep Shugart Safe.
