Expectations of Effective School Crossing Guards
Ensure Safety First
Safely guide children and other pedestrians across streets, especially during school start and end times.
Monitor traffic and ensure that all vehicles have come to a complete stop before allowing anyone to cross.
Be Vigilant and Alert
Constantly observe traffic flow, driver behavior, and pedestrian movement.
Stay off phones or any distractions – 100% focus is required at all times.
Professional Conduct
Serve as a role model by following traffic rules and behaving respectfully.
Maintain a calm, friendly, and authoritative demeanor – especially when dealing with children, parents, or aggressive drivers.
Communicate Clearly
Use hand signals and/or a whistle confidently to direct both pedestrians and drivers.
Give clear instructions to children – especially younger ones – who may be unsure what to do.
Wear Proper Gear
Always wear high-visibility clothing (like reflective vests) and use a standard stop paddle for directing traffic.
Be presentable and weather-appropriate – the role is outdoor in all types of weather.
Be Dependable and Punctual
Arrive on time for assigned shifts – children rely on consistency.
Stay for the entire duty period, including early arrivals or late dismissals if needed.
Understand the Law and Protocols
Know local traffic laws and school crossing procedures.
Be prepared to report incidents, unsafe driver behavior, or hazards to the appropriate authorities.
Engage Positively with the Community
Greet children and parents warmly; help foster a safe and welcoming atmosphere.
Recognize familiar faces and be alert to any unusual behavior or situations.
Things Crossing Guards Should Avoid:
Getting Distracted
Avoid using your phone, eating, or chatting excessively while on duty. Always keep your eyes on traffic and the crosswalk.
Standing in Unsafe Spots
Don’t stand in the middle of the road unless it’s time to stop traffic. Stay visible but safe when not actively crossing people.
Turning Your Back to Traffic
Always face the direction traffic is coming from when entering the street – you need to see the drivers and make eye contact if possible.
Waving Cars Through While Kids Are Present
Never signal vehicles to go through when children are waiting or crossing. Always prioritize pedestrians.
Crossing Without the Sign
Don’t cross anyone without holding up your stop sign clearly. It’s your badge of authority – use it every time.
Letting Kids Cross Alone
Avoid assuming kids will cross safely on their own – always escort them or guide them firmly but kindly.
Arguing With Drivers or Parents
Stay calm and professional, even if someone is rude or impatient. Let your supervisor or local authorities handle repeat offenders.
Not Wearing Safety Gear
Don’t skip wearing your reflective vest or using your stop paddle – they’re crucial for visibility.
Crossing During Unofficial Times
Stick to your assigned times. If you’re not scheduled or trained for certain times of the day, it’s risky to act on your own.
Ignoring Weather Conditions
Don’t forget to adjust your stance and alertness depending on weather – slippery roads, fog, or snow make your job harder and more dangerous.
Sitting in Your Car
Crossing Guards need to be visible and ready at all times to ensure student safety.
