Lunch
Teachers should plan on and teach their students the orderly passing of students in the hall. Each classroom teacher will drop off and pick up their students from the cafeteria. It is important to stick to the designated schedule as that has the potential to affect other classes. Please make sure you review the PBIS expectations with your students to ensure a smooth transition.
Recess
Teachers are to take their class to the playground or designated play area. Classroom teachers will monitor their students. Be alert and walk around. No student will be allowed to re-enter the building without a “pass” from the teacher. Such students must report directly to the office. Teachers are expected to summon assistance when there is an uncertainty about the seriousness of an injury or a discipline problem. At no time is the teacher to leave the playground when students are present. Recess time is set by the teacher and should last no longer than 20-25 minutes. Include 5 minutes to line up and return to classes.
