Crossing Guard

Crossing Guard Duty


  • Parents help with crossing guard duty in the mornings and afternoons during drop-off and pick-up times.


  • Carpool duty is assigned to one grade level for each month of the school year.


  • Parents are asked to sign up for four crossing guard duty spots for each child who attends PRA.


  • You will receive an email with signup details prior to the month(s) you are assigned.


  • Parents are required to demonstrate understanding of the carpool duty expectations by taking an online crosswalk safety course.

At PRA, safety is always a priority.
We depend on our parent crossing guard volunteers to:

  • Keep children moving safely across crosswalks to and from school.
  • Keep car traffic flowing so it doesn't back up on Colorado Boulevard.
  • Be a friendly presence at crosswalks for children and parents.
