Otsego Elementary School Faculty Handbook - Half Hollow Hills

CLASSROOM VISITATIONS
There will be times during the school year when parents are invited to
school. Some of these activities may be author shares presentations,
class plays, and seasonal/birthday celebrations. Please follow the
guidelines below when inviting parents to your classroom.
• All visitations MUST end by 2:30PM.
• Siblings attending Otsego are NOT permitted to attend functions in
their brothers’ and or sisters’ classrooms.
• Parents who wish to dismiss their child after visiting are permitted to
do so, as long as they follow proper procedure and sign their child
out. However, we discourage early dismissals because the children
are losing instructional time.
• After planning your event, please submit to the office a “Classroom
Visitation Information Sheet.” This should be submitted AT LEAST
TWO WEEKS in advance. This will allow for planning on days when
numerous activities are scheduled and provide advance notice so
that the event may be placed on the weekly calendar.
• Please reserve common areas (cafeteria, fields, courtyard, etc…)
well in advance of your event to ensure availability.
• TWO DAYS BEFORE YOUR EVENT, please submit to the office a
“Classroom Visitor Listing.” This is a detailed list of all those visitors
that you are expecting. This sheet will be used as the sign-in/sign
out log. It will also assist the hall monitor with the distribution of
visitor badges.
• Copies of the forms needed are enclosed in this book. Additional
forms may be obtained in the Main Office.
