Recess Rangers

Ever wonder what your kids are up to during recess? Want a chance to join the fun - and maybe relive a bit of your own childhood? Now’s your opportunity! Recess Rangers invites parents and guardians to spend time on the playground, connect with students, and help make recess a positive, active experience for everyone.

What You’ll Do:

  • Play games and join in on the fun
  • Be a friendly referee when needed
  • Cheer students on and encourage positive play
  • Bring your own favorite game to share (optional!)

When: Every Wednesday, 30-minute session

  • 12:05 – 12:35 PM: 4th & 5th Grades
  • 12:35 – 1:05 PM: Kindergarten & 1st Grades
  • 1:05 – 1:35 PM: 2nd & 3rd Grades

 Before You Arrive:

  • You must be an LWSD-approved volunteer. (Not approved yet. Apply here)
  • Check in at the front office before heading to the playground.
  • Wear your volunteer badge and pick up a vest from the office cabinet.
  • Grab your materials from the designated storage area.
  • A list of easy-to-follow games will be provided if you’d like some inspiration.

 A Few Guidelines:

  • Please be mindful, positive, and inclusive in your words and interactions.
  • If you notice a conflict between students, step back and allow the recess teachers to manage the situation — they’re trained to guide students through these moments.

Bring your energy, enthusiasm, and smile — and help make recess a highlight of the school day!
