Butler Elem Faculty Handbook 19-20 V2

DOCTOR/DENTIST APPOINTMENTS If at all possible, Dr./Dentist appointments should be scheduled before/after contract hours. When absolutely necessary, appointment may be scheduled after school between 3:00 and 4:00. If appointments must be scheduled during faculty meetings or other meetings. teachers may need to apply for sick leave or personal leave. Please speak with the principal to discuss any special situations. From time to time, I am willing to cover classes to allow you to make appointments scheduled in the last hour of the school day if there are no other options. Please make arrangements with me before making arrangements for teammates to cover your class. DUTY SCHEDULE The following duties and activities will be assigned on a school-wide basis outside supervision, faculty room cleanup and outside cleanup with class on designated days/weeks. This schedule has been shared with you on Google Docs. EARLY ENTRANCE We will allow children coming to school into the building no more than 15 minutes before school begins during inclement weather. A teacher from each grade-level will be required to supervise the students in the vestibules. We will continue to encourage students to plan on leaving home at an appropriate time so as to arrive at school close to the first bell. When students come to school early on inclement weather days, they are to quietly enter the stairwell through their grade-level door. Early entrance rules: 1) Remain seated in the vestibule outside each grade-level hall

2) Talk quietly or read 3) Once in, you stay in 5) Quietly make your way to class when told

EMAIL Most communication will be done by the office using email. Teachers are required to check their email at least twice daily. New district requirements state that teachers must use email and meet other minimum standards of technology use. Teachers are expected to respond to parent inquires including email, phone messages, etc. within 48 hours. You would expect the same of your child’s teacher or your physician. If you are untrained or experiencing technical difficulties inform the office and/or submit a “ticket” through the district I.T. website to REQUEST HELP . You may also contact our Ed-Tech or the Help Desk (826-5544) for assistance
