URGENT: Crossing Guards Needed at Wells Branch and Joe Lee Johnson Elementary Schools
(Paid Positions!)

If you or anyone you know is interested in rolling up their sleeves and pitching in for an important job in our community, for our children; two of our local elementary schools urgently need crossing guards for the morning and afternoon drop off and pick-up times. There is currently a crossing guard staffing shortage which is leading to some mornings/afternoons where there are not crossing guards at important and busy intersections such as: Bratton and Merrilltown, Robert I Walker and Town Hill, and Bratton and Sauls. These are high volume crossings with cars and pedestrians. It’s approximately 2 hours per day and these are paid positions. Please consider answering the call or help refer someone who can help. This is a great opportunity for active-retired folks, part-time workers and stay at home moms!

If you have the time and are able to apply, those paid positions are available here: https://police.roundrockisd.org/crossing-guards/
