Safety Patrols

Being an OES Safety Patrol is a 5th grade leadership position. These student leaders ensure a safe and orderly environment in and around our school. Each patrol is entrusted with the well being of students in their particular area. They serve every day, no matter what the weather, and can be easily recognized by their bright safety belts and badges.

  • Monitoring the safety of students on the bus and at bus stops
  • Assisting students getting to and from their buses/cars safely, especially kindergarten students
  • Monitoring safety of students during arrival and dismissal (hallways, APR, car rider and walker locations)
