Spare Crossing Guards Needed
View our Careers and Volunteering page for opportunities.
The Township of Woolwich employs nine (9) dedicated School Crossing Guards. Occasionally, our Crossing Guards must be absent from work so a roster of Spare Crossing Guards is maintained to cover absences. We are currently seeking community-minded individuals with flexible schedules to work periodically during the coming school year. Ideal candidates must be at least 16 years old, able to work in all types of weather conditions, and with access to transportation. It is essential that candidates enjoy working with children. Previous experience working with students is an asset.
Spare Crossing Guards choose the schools they will serve. The schools that are served by Crossing Guards are: Riverside Public School in Elmira; John Mahood Public School in Elmira; St. Jacobs Public School; Conestogo Public School; and Breslau Public School. When called upon, a Spare Crossing Guard may accept or decline an offered shift. Each shift accepted by a Spare Crossing Guard involves a 30-minute duty time either before or after school. This is a paid position that would be enjoyed by a retired individual. All training and equipment is provided. A police background check is a condition of employment.
Interested persons are invited to submit a resume and cover letter to Human Resources.
Crossing Location and Times
Parking Safely at Schools
Most schools have signed areas that are designated to accommodate motorists dropping off or picking up their children.
Drivers should not use the "No Stopping" or "No Parking" zones in the vicinity of schools.
These areas must be kept clear to provide clear visibility for motorists and students.
Drivers should never double park to load or discharge children from their vehicles as this places children in a dangerous position of crossing lanes of traffic without seeing or being seen by other motorists.
