Parents – What can you do?

• Review safety rules with your cadet – they are permitted to have their cell phone for emergency use and/or to contact the office.
• Make sure your cadet has eaten before their tagging shift, and they bring a water bottle to keep hydrated. 
• Make sure your cadet dresses for the weather. They may wear their cadet issued or civilian winter jacket or toque. Gloves should be black if possible.
• Check on your cadet routinely during their tagging shift.
• Please remain with your child until their cadet partner has arrive/left.

Parent Volunteers needed to assist with tagging.  If interested please reach out to Natalie Foster at nfoster498@gmail.com.
