Important Reminders and Updates
Recess and Lunch Duties
Just a quick reminder that everyone needs to be monitoring closely during our recess and lunch times. I ask that you continuously walk through the tables during lunch time as well as please monitor the line waiting to go through the cafeteria lines and when washing hands try to have another teammate ensure they are getting from there to lining up outside quickly and quietly.
During recess duty make sure that you are not just sitting down. You may sit for a while, but you need to be actively monitoring and walking around at least every 10 minutes. Also, please refrain from using your phone unless necessary to communicate with another teacher/office inside. Also, make sure you always have our walkie talkie with you.
Finally, please make sure that you are not sending in lots of kiddos to go to the bathroom at the same time during recess. Several kids are just entering the building without asking a teacher on duty so make a plan with your team on how to find a way that will work best for them to be able to go, but not have large groups inside the building at one time.
Thank you for you help with these needs as we have had several issues this year already during lunch and recess times with learners not being appropriate and using our school-wide expectations.

Shout out to all K-5 classroom teachers for doing such a wonderful job working with our parents during parent/teacher conferences!
