CROSSING GUARDS
Crossing Guards
Crossing guards perform an important function by helping young students cross the streets safely on their way to and from school.
General Information
- Crossing guard services are provided by the Township of Scugog through the Clerk's Office
- Ten (10) crossing guards are placed in strategic locations to serve the elementary schools
- Crossing guards work scheduled shifts, which are specifically coordinated with school bell times
How Parents Can Help
For liability and insurance purposes, crossing guards are only permitted to cross students during their scheduled shifts. As a parent, you should encourage your children to become familiar with the scheduled times when crossing guards are at the crossing to ensure they have a safe trip to and from school.
How Motorists Can Help
The Highway Traffic Act requires motorists to stop and obey a school crossing guard.
