Safety Cadets

• Cadets will agree to a rotation of duties as scheduled by their team captains. Signing the permission slip shows that you agree to serve all posted areas.

• Cadets need to attend monthly safety meetings.

• Cadets are role models. Cadets need to show honorable behaviors.

  • Initiative with post position and communication about the role (CARES)...especially assertiveness to students while keeping them safe.

  • Resourcefulness in solving duty problems.

  • Attendance and participation at safety meetings

  • Tolerance

  • Voluntary work with organizing cadet functions...set up for holiday party, safety skits, meeting announcements/posters, tours for new cadets, training of post positions, help with recycling efforts, etc.

• Cadets can receive demerits. Examples are:

  • Repeated late work

  • Inappropriate language/behavior

  • Repeatedly being late for class without an acceptable excuse

  • Missing duty without arranging a substitute

  • Any behavior that requires a Fix-It Plan or seeing the principal

  • Repeated infractions of classroom/school rules in a given day

• Cadets need to maintain acceptable grades to continue safety patrol service.

  • If a cadet is not working up to their fullest potential, the cadet will become inactive until their work has improved. Once class work has improved, a cadet may resume his/her responsibilities.

As a member of the Safety Patrol at Grant Elementary, you will join hundreds of students across the country in a time-honored tradition of protection for children as they travel back and forth to school and throughout their time at school during the day.

Thank you for your willingness to commit to these guidelines. I am proud of you for your dedication to school safety and highly respect your decision to join our team!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Peters
