This Friday, 6 February marks the annual “School Crossing Supervisor Safety Awareness Day", a time to honour the vital work of school crossing supervisors and remind drivers of the importance of slowing down and staying alert around school zones.
At Al Siraat, we are privileged to have exceptional crossing supervisors who tirelessly ensure the safety of our community. To raise awareness of their vital role, they will wear ribbons on this day to highlight the importance of road safety.
We encourage everyone in our school community to show appreciation for our crossing supervisors – a smile, wave, or “thank you” means so much.
A reminder from our Crossing Supervisor Angelo:
- Slow Down: Observe school zone speed limits, especially during drop-off and pick-up times.
- Be Alert: Always watch for students and crossing supervisors at crossings.
- Set a Good Example: Teach your child to use school crossings and follow safety instructions
- Always wait for his whistle signal first before starting to cross!
Let’s work together to create a safer environment for our community. On 6 February, and every day, we thank our crossing supervisors for their invaluable dedication.
