STSWR Safety Programs

Transportation for Safety Patrol training to Budd Park will be assigned by STSWR. STSWR will provide schools with their assigned training day and which session they will be attending (morning or afternoon) at the beginning of September.

The bus company assigned to your school will contact your school safety patrol representative a week prior to the training with a pick-up time. Pick-up for the morning session starts at approximately 8:45 AM and departs at 11:35 AM. Pick-up for the afternoon session will start at approximately 11:15 AM and depart at 2:05 PM. Times may vary.

One school crossing point should have 2 foot patrollers on duty per day, plus 1-2 spares, for a maximum of 10 trained foot patrollers. This would increase if a school as more crossing points.

One bus must have 3 patrollers on duty per day (one for the front, middle, and back of the bus) plus 1-2 spares, for a total of 5 trained bus patrollers per bus. This would increase depending on the number of buses at the school.

Safety Patrol vests are provided as required safety equipment for trained patrollers. This is NOT a free giveaway. Vests are limited and are a significant cost. Please be respectful of this and only order what your school truly needs. 

Vests will only be provided for students who attended the CAA Safety Patrol Training in September. Students who did not attend training are not permitted to serve as patrollers, wear a vest, or receive patroller perks/gifts.

Vests are provided per role, NOT per student. They are STSWR/school property and designed to last multiple years. They do not need to be replaced annually and must be returned to the school at the end of every school year.

Quantities will be confirmed using last year’s allocation, the number of buses at your school, and the headcount recorded at this year’s training.

An order form will open the week after the September Safety Patrol Training. An email will be send to your school with more information as well.

Vests are school property, designed to last multiple years, and should have been collected from last year’s patrollers. Because vest supplies are limited, any request that exceeds a school’s true requirement directly impacts the ability of other schools to receive what they need.

Before submitting your request, please:

• Contact any families who were patrollers last year to return their vests to the school ASAP.
• Confirm how many vests your school currently has on hand (including any returned by last year’s patrollers). No school staff should have CAA vests. Please check with your custodians, teachers, any stock rooms or closets, staff rooms, etc, for vests in the wrong spot.

Quantities will be confirmed using last year’s allocation, the number of buses at your school, and the headcount recorded at this year’s training.

Safety Patrol Vest Request Form: *Form will be available the week of September 28*

These events & gifts are exclusively for Bus Patrol and Foot Patrol students who attended the CAA training in September. Students who are Trailblazers or did not attend the CAA training are not eligible to participate.
