5th Graders at Whispering Oak are eligible to be a Safety Patrol at our school. Students are nomiated by staff members and there is certain criterion that they are required to maintain in order to be a Safety Patrol. This is a leadership role that responsible and dedicated students take on.
Safety Patrols must be at your post with your patrol belt on by 8:10 every morning. Parents drop off between 8:00-8:10 a.m. at the front of the school. Patrols remain in the front of the building until a captain opens the door. Most posts will last until 8:30; Car Riders may go a little later. Once the Safety Patrol post is finished, students go immediately to their classroom.
Safety Patrols go to their PM POST when their teacher dismisses them. Safety Patrols remain at their posts until all students have cleared from the area or at 3:15, whichever one comes first.
