CFAA - Employee Expectations

Attendance Matters

Take attendance by 10:00am. If there are students who arrive tardy or end up being absent, please correct or concatct Ms. Williams for assistance. Any student who is not present by 10:00 am will be counted absent.

We are professionals and should dress in such a manner. Your attire influences the level of respect given to you by students and parents. T-shirts are only allowed on Wednesdays for College and Military shirt day and on Fridays if it is a Duncanville ISD Spirit Shirt. Jeans may be worn on Fridays with a Duncanville spirit shirt only. If the principal feels you are dressing in a manner that could have an adverse effect of how students, parents, and the community perceive you, then this will be brought to your attention. Of course those of you who have assignments that involve physical activity may wear appropriate attire to meet the needs of your students. Hats, slides, tights, leggings, shorts are not professional attire. We will have Spirit Days in which certain attire will be allowed.

Do not leave your class unattended for any reason. Please contact your assigned appraiser if you have an emergency, become ill, or if you are running late due to an on campus meeting, i.e. SPED/504/RTI meetings.
Be vocal and visible in the hall duirng arrival, transtions and dismissal. Teachers, keep students in the class and only release when necessary.
Students should not be sent to the hall for punishment nor left unattended. Only remove a student for a short discussion and return the student to the classroom.
Take care of your classroom. If every teacher takes pride in the appearance of his/her room, the students will also take pride in their classrooms. In the event furniture is damaged, please contact Ms. Monreal to have the furniture fixed or removed from the class. Keep your door locked and lights off when the room is unoccupied. Your classroom is to remain locked and doors closed when you are conducting class.

You are expected to check your Outlook calendars, voicemail, e-mail, and staff mailbox daily. It is also expected that you respond to all messages within 48 hours.
Do not disclose (orally, written, or electronically,) any information regarding a student (academics, behavior, family, medical or personal issues) with anyone that does not have a legitimate educational interest with the student. Whether in a classroom, the staff lounge, or out in public, the unauthorized sharing of this information is in violation of FERPA laws.
You must maintain written documentation of all communication with parents, guardians, students, counselors, etc. regarding a student’s inappropriate conduct and academic concerns. Talking Points is the official district form of communication.
According to House Bill 1481, Texas prohibits K-12 public and charter school students from using personal communication devices during the instructional day. Covered devices—including cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and tablets—must be turned off and securely stored or prohibited entirely. Student violations of this policy will result in the confiscation of the device. The law permits device use if required for an IEP/Section 504 plan, documented medical needs, or health emergencies. The device will only be returned to the student's parent after a parent conference and payment of a $15 administrative fee (the fee applies to each violation).

All field trips, including virtual field trips are to be cleared through Mrs. Parker at least six weeks prior to the trip. No student will be allowed to go without a signed waiver from his/her parents or guardian on file. You are to require a TEKS based completed assignment prior to a student going on a field trip.
DO NOT CONDUCT FUNDRAISERS WITHOUT RECEIVING WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM THE PRINCIPAL. There is an appropriate form that must be filled out and chain of command that must be followed.
All money collected from students for fundraisers must be recorded and turned in daily to Ms. Monreal. Everyone is to receive a receipt for anything that involves the exchange of money.
