STREET CROSSING GUARDS
Paid crossing guards, under the supervision of the Wilmette Police Department, are available to cross children at designated locations before and after school only. Crossing guards are not on duty at lunch, for morning kindergarten dismissal, or for afternoon kindergarten arrival. Children should be taught to cross these streets only when a crossing guard is present and/or at marked pedestrian crosswalks.

The AM/PM crossing guard at the corner of Dartmouth and Greenwood, and the PM crossing guard at the corner of Dartmouth and Thornwood are financially supported by the Harper PTO.
