Safe School Ambassadors are 4th and 5th grade students selected by their homeroom teachers. Teachers select 1-2 students that exhibit strong leadership skills and peer relational skills so that they can be trained by district staff and their supervisors on how to support and assist other students that are struggling with conflict during the school day in their classrooms and on campus.  These students support a positive school culture where they can model to other students and support other students and support other students when faced with conflicts and needing assistance before it escalates to needing teacher and/or administrative support.  Safe School Ambassadors meet with supervisors 5-6 times during the school year for training and collaboration. They meet after school from 2-3.  The strategies and skills this group is taught are skills that are useful at Coral Reef and skills that help them in life.  The Ambassadors model these relational skills that they have learned to their classmates and other students on campus to help create a more peaceful environment where students can work together to solve conflicts.

Coral Reef safety patrol selection occurs at the end of the 4th grade year.  4th grade students are selected by their 4th grade teachers. Those students selected have met the requirements during their 4th grade year to join. Teacher selection is based on a rubric that is shared with students and parents at the start of the year. Selection requirements include work habits, behaviors in the classroom and on campus, attendance/tardies, and leadership skills.  Safety Patrol is a privilege and students take great pride in being selected and becoming role models and leaders for the rest of the student body.  There is an optional field trip planned for safety patrols and also an end of the year celebration for all safety patrols in May to celebrate their success and service to their school.
