Opening School Checklist

• Below is a reminder list of Things to Do for
  Opening School Tasks to help you keep track.
  Thanks for working to check off the items by the
  assigned times and turning them in.
• E-mail your class schedule to administration and
  the curriculum coordinator by Friday (Aug. 31) at
  830am.
• Each teacher must submit a hard copy of your
  classroom management plan and expectations by
  September 7. These will also be shared with
  parents on Sept. 13 at Back to School Night.
• Daily attendance must be completed each day by
  915am (paper copy and then the same for NCWise).
  Include any notes, bus changes, etc, with the
  attendance
• All of the colored information cards and
  Student-Parent Compacts you have received need to
  be turned in on Friday with your attendance
  sheet. Please send a reminder home with students
  who dont have their cards so we can get updated
  information for the front office and NCWise
  updates.
• If you are planning to be absent between now and
  September 30, you need to submit a Leave Request
  form with Mrs. Yates so it will be in by the two
  week deadline for principal approval. All leaves
  are not automatically approved, so please follow
  this process (outlined in the handbook).
• Please make sure that you reference the duty
  schedules and report. You should also make sure
  you have a back up plan/person or notify your sub
  if you have a duty so the area doesnt go
  unsupervised.
• All grade levels must turn in which team members
  are assuming the following leadership roles SIT
  Team Rep, Magnet Team Rep, PBIS Team Rep, and
  Hospitality. Each grade level, EC, ESL, EC TAs,
  and Specialists should be represented on these
  teams. Also, remember that ILTs with less than
  4 years of experience or career teachers with 28
  or more years of experience may assume any of
  these leadership roles but must complete a waiver
  requesting to take on that responsibility.
• If you have students who need classroom supplies,
  contact Ms. McCoy so they wont go without.
• If you need furniture or materials added to or
  removed from your classroom, please use the
  Request forms in the Workroom. Submit these to
  the folder in Mr. Martins door and he will put
  them on the custodial list. Please do not make
  requests to custodians directly, as they have a
  daily list of tasks.

Safety ChecklistKeep upthe goodwork!

• Here are some other Safety Reminders you can do
  to make sure your room meets requirements. Let us
  know if we can help you with any of these
  checkpoints.
• Please make sure that
• No chemicals or cleaning materials are out and
  accessible to the students. The only chemicals or
  cleaners allowed in the building are district
  materials or items that have a MSDS safety sheet
  on record in the main office. Those approved
  items have to be secure in a locked area out of
  the reach of children. We will likely have a
  safety check at school in the first 10 days.
• Please make sure no items are hanging on or
  attached to the blinds or blocking the view of
  the window on your classroom door.
• Classroom windows are the second exit on the new
  wing and the pod. We may not block that area
  with any items on the windows, window blinds,
  window sills, or on the floor with furniture that
  would prohibit students/staff from exiting
  safely.
• Extension cords, appliances, and holiday lights
  are not permitted because they are labeled for
  household use.
• You all have done a good job of keeping items off
  of the ceilings. Remember there must be a 2 foot
  clearance below the ceiling for storage.
• Thanks for making sure that no more than 20 of
  the wall should be covered. We will notify you if
  we see any concerns with this area.
• Due to new regulations, we have been told that
  hand sanitizer use must be supervised by adults
  because of risk of student consumption and/or the
  use of the material to fuel fires. Please put
  out of reach of students while stored and monitor
  its use as you always do. Students should not be
  allowed to use their own bottles of this
  substance without your permission. Please explain
  this to students.
