- Ensure that you are entering at least one grade per subject area per week.
- Students should not be in the hallways at any time without an escort.
- Please remember ALL instructional non-negotiables must be adhered to, failure to adhere will result in disciplinary action.
- Attendance must be taken by 9:30 am and then rechecked for any mistakes in the afternoon, failure to meet this deadline will result in a written warning.
- Lesson Plans are due EVERY Friday Evening @ 7pm.
- Please make sure that we are using the walkie-talkies for Level III offenses, nurse, or buddy room escorts. For minor infractions in the classroom setting (use your restorative practices, safe seat, buddy rooms) before calling for administration or sending students to the office. (No student will be sent to the office unless brought by an administrator).
