In our workroom, you will find a tall white bin with drawers. (See picture to left). Teachers place their copy and laminating requests in this bin.
The bin is divided up by grade levels. You will be making copies for all grade levels, not just the one your student(s) is in.
You may start with any drawer of your choosing.
In the drawer, you will see worksheets with sticky notes on them with directions like the images below.
How to Read the Sticky Notes
How to Read the Sticky Notes
Reading the teacher's directions can often be confusing. When making a request, the teachers are asked to put their name (or grade level), how many copies they need, and the date by which they need it.
Using the blue sticky note as an example, Ms. Murray is asking for copies for kindergarten and she needs them by 3/22. She needs 6 sets of 20 for the grade level and Ms. McClung doesn't need a set.
What does it mean when a teacher asks for sets of #?
If a teacher is asking for sets, it is because they are asking for copies for an entire grade level. In the blue sticky note above, the 6 sets of 20 means they need you to make 20 copies for each of the 6 teachers. On the yellow sticky note, she is asking for 11 copies for each of the 5 teachers.
Special Instructions
Sometimes the teachers will have special instructions like copy front and back or cut in half. They may also ask you to staple the papers.

Using the blue sticky note above as an example, kindergarten needs 6 sets of 20. To make these copies, you would use the Riso. You could just make 120 copies and then count them out into 6 stacks with 20 in each stack.
There is a more efficient way though if you want to save yourself some counting. You can do the following:
Set out 6 paper clips.
Make 20 copies on the Riso.
Paper clip that set.
Print 20 more.
Continue this process until you run out of paper clips.
Using the pink sticky note as an example, you could add up all the sets and make 68 copies on the Riso and then divide them out into the right piles. You could also use the black copy machine because the sets are less than 20.
