7.a.1. Presentation by Chenowith Elementary School - Student Safety Patrol!
Presenter:
Anne Shull, Principal & Student Safety Officers
Description:
The CES Student Safety Patrol started from a childhood memory of Principal, Anne Shull, when she was in the 5th grade and participated in a Safety Patrol Program. Mrs. Shull brought this idea to the CES Leadership Team and then to the 4th and 5th grade classes. Mrs. Shull presented to the students what the duties of a Safety Patrol Officer would entail and opened up 25 slots for students to apply. Almost 70 students submitted an application for this program, which included 2 staff member's recommendation along with a parent recommendation! Staff reviewed the applications, contacted references and looked at the each student's behavior record and selected 25 students to participate in the first Student Safety Patrol at Chenowith Elementary School. Students selected were honored at a school assembly on October 2nd and each took their pledge at that time. Student Safety Officers completed a 90 minute training on how to safety assist students across the street. Several Community volunteers offered to help students practice as part of their training. The Student Safety Officers first official shift was on October 6th and it was a huge success! It has been noted that traffic is driving slower in both the front and back of the school and drivers are being patient and positive - which is empowering the Student Safety Officers and helping to create a more positive and safer school culture.
