The role of the AAA School Safety Patrol is to organize and teach dedicated student volunteers to direct their peers during morning line-up and lunch recess.
- AAA School Safety Patrol members are school-sponsored student volunteers from fourth grade at Horace Mann School.
- Patrollers direct children, not traffic. As school-age leaders in school safety, patrol members teach other students about safety on a peer-to-peer basis. They also serve as examples for younger children, who look up to them.
AAA School Safety Patrol members:
- Complete training in school safety.
- Inform students regarding proper behavior in the school yard and inside the school.
- Assist teachers and school aids during lineup.
- Teach fellow students about school safety.
- Serve in other leadership roles under the direction of school officials.
Typically, teachers and principals appoint patrol members, who participate with parental approval. A teacher usually serves as the patrol moderator.
