Contacts with Staff

The learning environment and the staff's time for students will be free from interruption. Except in emergencies, staff will not be interrupted in their work. Brief messages will be recorded so as to permit the staff member to return the call when free.

Certificated staff will be available for consultation with students and community members 30 minutes before and after school or as established by the collective bargaining agreement. Students and community members are urged to make appointments with staff to assure an uninterrupted conference.

No one will solicit funds or conduct private business with staff on school time and premises.

Visitors

The board welcomes and encourages visits to school by parents, community members, and interested educators. The superintendent will establish guidelines governing school visits to insure orderly operation of the educational process and the safety of students and staff.
