Safety Patrol Program

Safety Patrols are a select group of Fifth Graders that are committed to providing a safe school environment for all students at Melrose Elementary. Patrol membership is an honored position.  Being a patrol is a lot of work and a BIG responsibility.  Safety Patrol participation offers students an early opportunity to serve as a school volunteer. It is an organization that promotes:

Melrose Safety Patrol membership is an honor and a privilege. Safety Patrol is a job of commitment and service to your school throughout the year. Patrols must display leadership qualities and be responsible. They will assist with morning student drop-off and afternoon dismissal. Patrol duties will include opening/closing doors, being courteous to adults and children, assisting students in the halls and walkways, displaying and taking care of the United States Flag and monitoring appropriate student behavior in the hallways before and after school.  Whether patrols are on-duty or off-duty, they should observe the school rules and set a good example for fellow Melrose Manatees.
