Tara Elementary School is pleased to announce the creation of our PBIS Safety Patrol Program. The purpose is to assist with the monitoring of the halls in the morning and/or the afternoon. Safety patrols are 5th grade students with a proven record of being well-behaved and respectful.
The patrol’s job is to remind students of safety rules. In encouraging students to observe safety rules, the PBIS patrol will have a significant, positive influence on your schoolmates. Participants influence other students both formally as part of their regular duties, as well as informally because they serve as student role models of appropriate and safe behavior. Patrols will receive instruction, guidelines, and procedures during their training and regular patrol meetings.
Safety patrol is selected from 4th and 5th grade students. Patrols are selected with input from teachers and administrators. Consideration is based on student interest, academic achievement, commitment, sense of responsibility, and attitude toward others. In most cases, students who are dedicated to their school work will be dedicated to patrol responsibilities.
Parent consent and patrol application forms are required for participation in the program. Teacher recommendations will be collected before admittance into the program. Forms can be picked up from your child's 4th or 5th grade teacher, or in the front office.
