Facilities FAQ's
How do I enter a work order for facilities problems?
Visit the Venture Website, click on Staff Systems and Work Order. This will take you to the Venture Facilities page. Click on Send Work Request. OR click here.
How do I reserve the building for a school function?
Go to the facilities home page and click on the Facility Reservation Request. Link is here.
If I look on the calendar and see that no one has the building reserved, can I hold a meeting or other event without filling out a facility reservation request?
No. All use of the facility must go through the same approval process whether it is for a COL, fundraiser, parent meeting, or play rehearsal. The reason this procedure is important is that the custodians are on a fixed schedule and as such are not available to return later in the evening to clean after an event unless specifically scheduled to do so.
If I order a bookcase, desk or other furitature item, will the facility manager help me assemble it?
No, The facility manager is responsible for the facility and equipment/furniture that is attached to the facility. If you order a whiteboard or other large item that needs to be secured to the building, the facility manager will assist with those items for safety reasons. Staff will need to assemble their own purchased furniture.
If I have a concern or complaint about custodial services, who do I contact?
You can contact the facilities manager via e-mail. Do not put in a facilities work request.
If I have a facility reservation from 6pm to 8pm, can I set up chairs at 3:30pm?
No. The custodians make every effort to clean around scheduled events. If they see that there is a reservation at 6pm, they will clean before that time so the building is ready for the following day. Please keep in mind chair setup when you reserve the building.
If I reserve part of the building (ex. the auditorium) and see that no one else has other parts of the facility reserved (ex. the Gym) can I expand my event to other parts of the building?
No. The custodians make every effort to clean around scheduled events. They will clean non-reserved areas during their normal cleaning schedule. If they clean the Gym and then someone comes in after to use it without the facilities team knowing, it will be dirty for the next school day. Please contact the facilities manager in advance to change your reservation to include all of the areas that you require.
Can I schedule school facilities for personal use?
Yes. School facilities can be reserved by school staff and non-school staff. Contact the facilities manager for policies and fees.
Who is responsible for the setting up and taking down of chairs/tables for my event?
On the facilities reservation form, teachers or staff may request tables and chairs for their event. It is the teachers responsibility to set up and take them down the tables and chairs.
Where are the Emergency and Safety Procedures manual found?
The Emergency manual is located in the 'folder of all folders' in the 'emergencies' folder. The link to this manual is also on the facilities home page. You can click here as well.
Who is responsible for cleaning the building after my event?
It is the responsibility of the event coordinator (teacher or staff member) to clean up after their event. On some occasions we may be able to have the custodians come in for large events but this is not a guarantee.
