🚸Crossing Guard Coverage 🚸

We want to address a concern that was brought to our attention this morning regarding crossing guard coverage.

The safety of our students is a top priority, and we understand the importance of having a crossing guard present at each designated station. Moving forward, we will ensure that a crossing guard or police officer is assigned to every station on every school day.

We are currently short-handed on crossing guards and are looking for dependable individuals who would like to make a difference in our community through rewarding, part-time work.

Know someone who may be interested? Please encourage them to contact City Hall at 618-939-8697 for more information about becoming a crossing guard.

Thank you to our crossing guards who help our students get to and from school safely each day—and thank you to our residents for bringing concerns to our attention so we can address them.
