Safe Routes To Schools and School Crossing Guards

The Township of Cranford employs 13 school crossing guards. Rain or shine we can always be assured that these dedicated people will be on the job! They act as friend and educator, instilling principles of pedestrian and traffic safety as they shepherd the children safely on their way. Being a school crossing guard is rewarding, part-time work that makes a positive contribution to the safety of our children. Click on the link to view the Cranford School Route Plan.
