TCES July Hours-Reminders and Updates
When can I start working in my classroom?! Monday - Thursday beginning July 6th ***REMINDER: do not set up classroom furniture, hanging items on the walls is fine.
Directions:
- Email Admin and Michelle Brown as our days in the building will vary due to vacation and meetings. It is good if you can tell us the day and time you'd like to come so we can be expecting you.
- Park in the front of the building.
- Come to the Main Entrance (where four doors are)-ring doorbell on the right hand side
- Someone will come let you in (Michelle Brown/Admin)
- YOU MUST sign in and out. If an outbreak occurs, us knowing when you were at school is vital for tracing and cleaning purposes.
- Complete Employee COVID-19 Questionnaire (paper but will be switching to virtual). (This will continue into the school year... you will get an email each morning...more to come on this as I know more.)
Fridays, the school will be closed to teachers. This will allow for cleaning days.
Weekends: We will coordinate and let you know when we set these up.
Thank you for helping us with this as we navigate this new normal.
Safe Schools Training (email may go to your Clutter)
If you have not received these yet, please email Lisa Lucas and she will contact Michele Tremblay at the District Office for you. New staff, you will not have access until you set up your email during your Tech Training.
Here are my directions I've given in the past:
LOGIN INSTRUCTIONS
1. The SafeSchools link is located on the district’s main website, www.fortmillschools.org, under “For Staff”. Employees may also use their web browser. Go to the web page: http://fortmill.sc.safeschools.com/ (no www. is necessary).
2. To access your assigned training, enter your network login username, which follows the following format: Last name, first initial. Example: John Doe, username: doej

You will have the option to print a Certification of Completion once you have completed the course. Employees do not need to submit a copy of the certificate to their administrators.

Furniture in Your Old/New Room and Summer Cleaning Schedule
Current Summer Cleaning Schedule for TCES:
July 24th-July 26th-Floor Crews
July 21st-July 23rd-Deep Cleaning Crew
*I realize this is late in the summer but we are scheduled for later because of all of the staff moves both internally and externally
*I am not sure how they are going to tackle this so I will update you on specifics as to when you can/cannot come in during this time. I am hoping this will not impact the entire school each of these days.
Kings Town Elementary Moves
Kings Town Elementary is still targeting an occupancy date of July 31st. Boxes will be moved in beginning July 30th. We anticipate staff being able to access the building on July 31st. The current plan is for the building will remain open for the entire weekend for staff.
