Butler Elem Faculty Handbook 19-20 V2

PERSONAL BELONGINGS Lock your door when you leave your room. The door should not be left open as students may return unsupervised. You are responsible for your own property. Teacher and student belongings are not covered by the district or school insurance. Encourage students to leave personal items at home. PERSONAL LEAVE Canyons District policy specifies that personal leave must be pre-approved by the principal. Whenever possible, schedule personal appointments outside of contract hours. It is recognized that emergency situations do occur. If a situation arises when you must be gone, always clear it with the principal ahead of time. Please check in the office prior to leaving the building. Personal leave in conjunction with holidays is awarded through district lottery. Be sure to apply well in advance! PROFESSIONALISM & ETHICS Staff members are expected to be responsible in the manner in which they conduct themselves. Remember your conduct can help you avoid awkward or compromising situations that could tarnish or destroy your teaching career and diminish your reputation and that of your profession. It is unprofessional to talk negatively about our school, principal, other faculty or staff to parents and other community members. Use appropriate channels to voice concerns and offer suggestions for making our school better. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR EVALUATION All teachers and administrators will be evaluated annually. You will find detailed information about our district evaluation system (CTESS) on the district web page. http://www.canyonsdistrict.org/ctess RECESS SUPERVISION Instructional aides will supervise lunch recess. Teachers are responsible to provide supervision for scheduled morning or afternoon recess. REIMBURSEMENT Other than items on pre-approved list , teachers may only be reimbursed for items purchased when pre-approved by the principal. Approval must be obtained prior to purchasing items . Please send an email to Jeff for approval. I will respond with something clever like “Approved.” Print my reply and attach it with your reimbursement form and receipts. Please buy the items using the tax-exempt number as tax cannot be reimbursed. A form can be obtained in the office. Except in emergencies, school supplies should be purchased through the district warehouse when available. Check with Renae for our Office Depot price first. It is usually better than what is available at regular prices at other retailers. Pre Approved Items: • School supplies not available in district warehouse • School supplies at a better price than in the district warehouse
