Expectations Review
Fire Inspector Visit
By Friday, January 8th:
- all extension cords and multi-plug outlets removed from room
- curtains taken down (rugs can stay for right now)
- floor lamps, clip lamps and Christmas lights removed from classrooms
- candles removed
- items hanging from ceilings removed (including decorations)
- all doors (exterior and closet doors) must not have anything on them
- exits must be cleared from clutter and objects
By Spring Break:
No more than 20% of your classroom and hallway walls can be covered with posters, number lines, color words, shape words, student work, anchor charts etc. If you are a visual learner, 20% would be one wall of your classroom.
By End of Year/Summer:
Closets need to be cleaned and purged. Items cannot be on the floor or on the top of the shelf. There must be at least 24 inches between the ceiling and the shelf that is free of clutter and materials.
I know that this is a change, and it may require you to rearrange your rooms. However, student and staff safety is our top priority and these items need to be addressed to ensure everyone's safety. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask:-)
