I. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES<br />
SECTION III<br />
GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
All teachers are responsible for closing their windows, turning off the lights, and locking the door when<br />
leaving their room. All rooms should be left neat and orderly.<br />
<strong>Teacher</strong>s required to leave the school campus during the school day, by virtue of the nature of the school<br />
activity being performed, must notify the building principal or their designee, and must sign out on the special<br />
register in the office of the principal before leaving.<br />
Schedule: Each teacher will follow his/her schedule as assigned.<br />
Each teacher has a mailbox. <strong>Teacher</strong>s are to check this box at least three (3) times a day. It is suggested that<br />
this be done in the morning when signing in, at noon, or conference period, and when signing out. (See interschool<br />
mail policy).<br />
Class Change - All teachers will be stationed at the door of their respective classrooms as students change<br />
classes and as students enter and leave the building. Each and every teacher will be responsible for student<br />
conduct in the halls in the immediate area of their duty station at all times.<br />
<strong>Teacher</strong>s who need special consideration for leaving the campus before the sign out time should write a brief<br />
explanation to the principal in advance.<br />
II. REGULAR DUTY AND SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS<br />
A. <strong>Teacher</strong>/Paraprofessionals Absence Procedures<br />
AESOP (Automated Educational Substitute Operator) is the automated service used for recording<br />
absences and finding substitutes.<br />
The AESOP service will be available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may interact<br />
with the system either on the Internet at http://www.aesoponline.com, or by way of a toll-free<br />
automated phone line. Once you are logged in the system, you will be given prompts for the various<br />
menu choices. Paraprofessional/clerical staff should check with the building principal about<br />
substitute eligibility.<br />
When you access the AESOP system over the phone for the first time, it is very important that you<br />
record your name and assignment for substitutes to hear. Please keep in mind that only your name<br />
and assignment should be recorded, (e.g. John Doe, 3rd Grade) as AESOP will play this recording<br />
to potential substitutes for all future absences you register. You will not be asked to record this<br />
information each time you register an absence.<br />
III. TEACHERS’ LOUNGE AND WORKROOM<br />
Each teacher using the lounge will be responsible for seeing that it is kept neat and orderly at all times. This<br />
includes placing bottles, paper, and other litter in the receptacles provided.<br />
The purpose of the general workroom is to provide teachers with adequate facilities for planning and<br />
preparation for classroom instruction.<br />
IV. INTER-SCHOOL MAIL POLICY<br />
The intended purpose of the school district's internal mail system is to facilitate the communication of official<br />
business. The system may be used by organizations that engage in activities of interest and educational<br />
relevance to students. Such organizations must contact the Superintendent or his designated representative<br />
prior to distributing material through the system. Organizations, which fail to do, so will lose this privilege.<br />
Material which promotes illegal activity, immoral conduct, or which is libelous or slanderous is inappropriate<br />
