Dear New Sixth Grade Students and Parents,
Each year sixth grade students serve as members of the School Safety Patrol. This is one of the most important and necessary functions students can perform to assure the safety of their fellow students. In doing so they are learning to contribute positively to the overall welfare of the St. John Community while embracing leadership and promoting service to others.
The corners served are NW 79th and 1st NW and the N 79th Street crosswalk between the school and Egan Hall. Students are supervised by the assistant principal, organized in squads, and assigned for a week at a time, either morning or afternoon. Students will be trained before going on posts for the first time. Formal instruction will be done during the first week of school with all the students and their teachers.
Times of duty for patrols are 8:05-8:20am, and 3-3:15pm (or 15 minutes after an early dismissal). There is a morning squad and an afternoon squad daily.
All sixth graders will be involved in this service. We will accommodate your family schedule to the best of our ability. If you have a particular carpool that would be affected, please indicate. Please note: Students assigned to a specific week are required to report each day of that specific week unless illness prevents them from doing so. Given the number of students in the sixth grade for the coming year, students will be assigned to patrol duty one week in every five. Please submit the form below by September 4; otherwise, we will not be able to accommodate your request.
Thank you for your support of this most appreciated and important program!
Sincerely,
| Mr. Paul Kelley Vice Principal | Mrs. Hazel Brumback Grade 6 Homeroom | Ms. Meg Sullivan Grade 6 Homeroom |
