Shifts range from 1hr and 5 minutes to 2.5 hours, during the morning, lunch and afternoon school bell times, Monday to Friday.
Here's what you'll do as a Crossing Guard
Crossing Guards cover shifts at the morning school bell times for student arrival, lunchtime bells and afternoon school bell times for student dismissal. Crossing Guards are responsible for ensuring that children travelling to and from school pass safely through their assigned crossing. Crossing Guards are safety figures and are important and engaged members of the community that keep our children safe.
Here are the specific job duties:
Direct and escort pedestrians across the street, stopping traffic as necessary.
Communicate traffic, crossing rules, and other information to students and adults.
Report unsafe student behaviour to school officials.
Inspect your intersection on a daily basis and report any unsafe conditions.
Monitor traffic flow to locate safe gaps through which pedestrians can cross. Create safe gaps in high traffic situations by asserting your authority to stop traffic.
