Butler Elem Faculty Handbook 19-20 V2

DISMISSING STUDENTS Students are not to be dismissed prior to 3:00 pm on regular school days and 1:20 pm on Fridays. Morning Kindergarten is to be dismissed at 11:05 AM and 10:25 AM on short days. Afternoon Kindergarten will dismiss at 3:00 PM / 1:20 on short days. It is not necessary or appropriate to line students up early in the hall or in the classroom. Do your best to coordinate the end of a short 5 to10-minute cleanup time with the end of the school day. Students should be walking out of the classroom door as the final bell rings. Any student who leaves school during the day must be released through the office only. If a parent comes to the classroom during the day to check out a student, send them to the office. Do not release the student – even if you know the parent. It is for their child’s safety! Please do not send students to the office to wait to be picked up. The office will call when the parent arrives. DISTRICT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Teachers are responsible for knowing critical district policy that relates to their job and apply them in their professional practices. District policies can be found on the web at https://policy.canyonsdistrict.org/ DRESS CODE All clothing worn to school should be in keeping with the learning environment of school. Clothing should be neat and clean. Any clothing that prohibits a student from going outside at recess is not allowed (i.e. shorts on a snowy day). Inappropriate clothing includes, but is not limited to: tank tops, halters, bare midriffs, inappropriate messages, and sagging pants. Under garments, including boxers, bras or bra straps should not be visible. Hats are not to be worn inside but may be worn outside to protect from the sun or inclement weather. Teachers are responsible for monitoring and enforcing the dress code. This means that teachers must discreetly inform a student when they are not following the dress code. On the first offense, warn the student, instruct them not to wear the inappropriate clothing to school again. Contact parents and advise them that if it happens again, they will have to bring a change of clothes for their student. On the second offense, send student to the office to call home. On any subsequent dress code violations, fill out a discipline form and send the student to the office. Teachers should dress professionally and should abide by the student dress code (see district policy). Sweats and t-shirt attire should only be worn on special occasions such as field day, etc.
