Butler Elem Faculty Handbook 19-20 V2

IN-DAYS: COLD OR INCLEMENT WEATHER

• All students, as well as assigned duty personnel are expected to dress for the weather. If a student is dressed inappropriately, send them in for a coat. Do not make them stay outside! • All students are to go outside at recess time, unless the teacher stays in to supervise. • The assigned recess duty aide will notify the office of inclement weather conditions. The office will decide if it will be an in day based on district guidance and make an announcement over the intercom. • When an “in-day” is called, the playground aides will cover duty by grade level during lunch recess. • Teachers are responsible for students before school and during other recess periods on in-days. One teacher from each grade should supervise students in the vestibule at the top and bottom of the grade-level stairs before school. • Notes from parents for students to stay inside should be honored; however, these requests should only be for short periods of recuperation. These students are to stay in the sick room or quietly read a book or do make-up work in the classroom. KEYS Teachers are responsible for the keys issued to them. No keys should be duplicated. The principal, secretary, and custodian have master keys and are available to open rooms when needed. The security of our building is everyone’s responsibility. Do not allow another to borrow your keys, including students. Be sure your rooms are locked when you leave for the day. Credentials (badges) are a key to our building. Always wear your credential during working hours and know where it is at all times. Notify the office immediately if your credential is missing.
