We need your help! District 186 is in need of crossing guards at a few of our elementary schools to help make sure our students can get to and from school safely.
These positions are great for someone who enjoys children and would like to help out at a school for only two hours per day. Our crossing guards are an important part of District 186. You are the first smile our students see in the morning and the last smile they see before they get home.
If you have an interest in this position or know someone that might, please visit the HR page to view current openings and complete an application online or at the Administrative Center located at 1900 West Monroe.
If there are any questions, please contact Human Resources at 217-525-3000.
