Traffic Team: Volunteers Needed to Keep Kids Safe!
The Patton Traffic Team's mission is to keep dropoff and pickup safe and smooth. We cannot do it without our incredible volunteers!
We still have openings on every shift (AM and PM every day). If you can help even one of these days, that would make a difference!
We are also very short on traffic team subs! We need substitutes so we can handle sick days, appointments, and work conflicts.
If you can help, fill out our form or email us at pattontrafficteam@gmail.com. Even if you're not sure, let us know if you think you could help sometimes.
Parents, grandparents and other caregivers are welcome to sign up, too!
