School Crossing Guards

School crossing guards play an important role in the lives of children who walk or bicycle to school. They help children safely cross the street at key locations. They also remind drivers of the presence of pedestrians. The presence of crossing guards can lead to more parents feeling comfortable about their children walking or bicycling to school. While the primary role of a school crossing guard is to guide children safely across the street, children also remain responsible for their own safety. In this manner, a guard plays another key function–a role model helping children develop the skills necessary to cross streets safely at all times.

As a motorist, please take into consideration all crossing guards are there to help get our children safely to school. Be sure to follow the rules of the road and to keep the crossing guards safe in your presence so that they may do their job effective and efficiently.
