Notification of Reasonable Assurance & Recess Periods for 2017-18 School Year Employment with our school district calls for several customary closure and recess periods between academic years and during the school year. This letter serves as the district’s notice to you and also as our intent that you will perform services in the same or similar capacity during the next academic school year. This includes periods immediately following a closure and holiday recess as established by the school calendar.

The following dates are scheduled as district recess periods. Your salary notice may vary from the official district recess periods. Summer Break: June 23, 2017 through September 4, 2017 Winter Break: December 21, 2017 through January 3, 2018 Spring Break: March 26, 2018 through March 30, 2018

The Human Resource office will issue your notice of employment when your assignment has been confirmed. Health benefits will continue throughout the summer recess period if you qualify and you have not been terminated or separated from the District.

This notification is not intended to guarantee a contract of employment.

CLASSIFED NEW HIRE INFORMATION HUMAN RESOURCES WEB PAGE INFORMATION To access the Human Resources web page, please visit the Beaverton School District web site https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/hr/

ATTENDANCE AND LEAVES EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE POLICY: All personnel are expected to come to work regularly and as scheduled (missing no more than one day per month worked, on average) due to sickness, and if needed, using no more than the other leave days provided in the employee’s employment agreement, except in the case of days missed due to disabilities or other serious medical conditions documented by health care professionals. All personnel are required to follow proper absence reporting procedures based on the position and work location. Excessive absences or unauthorized/improper use of leave, or failing to follow proper absence reporting procedures, will subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and including termination. All employees (other than transportation who use a time clock) are required to report absences through the Absence Management system. ABSENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: You may go to the Absence Management system through the Beaverton School District website, www.beaverton.k12.or.us, click Absence Management under Quick Links , to review your work schedule and position information. Please add information that would be helpful when a substitute needs to fill in for you while you are out. TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT: Time clock entries are used to track transportation employee attendance.

10

SICK LEAVE: Sick leave is accrued at one working day per month. Sick leave accrues (rolls over) from year to year during the length of your employment with the Beaverton School District. If you are a new classified BSD employee, hired directly from another Oregon public school district without a break in service, you are allowed to transfer up to 75 days of sick leave to the Beaverton School District. This form is available in the Human Resources Department. PERSONAL TIME OFF (PTO): A maximum of two days non-accumulative leave per year at regular pay will be allowed for emergencies necessitating an employee’s absence from work. PTO must be used in increments of full or half-shift hours. VACATION: Vacations for classified employees will be granted to twelve-month employees only based on the vacation year. The vacation year is July 1 through June 30, both for the purpose of earning credit towards vacation and determining the period earned vacation must be taken. Vacation is earned in one vacation year and is taken the following vacation year. Please refer to your OSEA Collective Bargaining Agreement. COMP TIME: Compensation time must be pre-approved by your administrator and must meet a designated need. Comp time is earned for a 40 hour week employee at time and a half. Comp time can be used for winter, spring break, and other times approved by your supervisor/administrator. EXCEPTION TIME SHEET: This hourly timesheet is filled out by classified employees who work beyond the hours listed on their Salary Placement Notice. After administrator’s approval this form is sent to payroll for “extra pay” and is tied to the payroll cut-off dates. This form is available online via the HR Classified web page under forms. Prior approval must be authorized by your supervisor before additional hours are worked. MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE: An employee must complete the Application for Leave of Absence form: When requesting personal medical leave, family medical leave, or parental leave; or for absences due to extended illness/disability for five or more consecutive working days (excludes absence covered under worker’s compensation). The form provides a basis for determining if the requested leave qualifies for pay and benefits and if it qualifies for special leave status under federal and state leave laws. Applications for leave must be reviewed and signed by the employee’s supervisor. Failure to submit a completed leave request may result in delay or denial of leave. This form is located on the “Intranet” or available through your school or department office. https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/hr/Pages/Leaves-of-Absence.aspx

BENEFITS MEDICAL, VISION AND DENTAL BENEFITS: If you have been hired for at least 4.0 hours a day, you are eligible to purchase benefits. The rate sheet for part time employees is available in the benefits packet and on the BSD webpage. If you have been hired for 6.0 hours and above, you are eligible for District paid benefits but you are responsible for any premium amount over the District negotiated contribution. All premium amounts are deducted monthly from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis. You must return your benefits paperwork before the end of the month you are hired for your benefits to start at the beginning of the next month. For example, if you are hired September 24 your completed benefit packet must be returned before September 30 to be effective October 1. If hired during the school year, you will need to enroll in a plan by the end of the month you were hired, to be covered by the first of the next month. If you are hired during the summer months, you will need to enroll before the end of August, for your coverage to begin in September. You must be in paid status on one of the first four working days of each month to receive benefits for that month. You have thirty days from your hire date to enroll in District coverage; otherwise you must wait until the next enrollment window offered in May. Benefits for temporary employees end the last day of June providing the assignment continues into the month of June.

11

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: • Life Insurance coverage is equal to 1X your annual salary • Long Term Disability Insurance, the premium for this benefit is paid by the District. There is a 60 day waiting period for new classified employees. • Section 125 Plan: This plan allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified child care expenses and/or qualified medical expenses. • Cascade Centers Inc. provides an employee assistance program (EAP). Counseling sessions are offered on a confidential basis with trained and licensed counselors. Please review all insurance information. If you have questions after reviewing the packet regarding your benefit choices, please call Pamela Hanson-Holtry at 356-4439 or Debbie Johnson at 356-4459. Additional benefit information can be found at https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/hr/benefits/Pages/default.aspx PERS – PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SYSTEM: An employee who is new to public service must meet the six-month waiting period to qualify to begin membership in the Public Employee Retirement System. You must work a minimum of 3.4 hours a day or more. The employee’s mandatory contribution is 6%.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT: (with the exception of temporary status employees, who do not qualify for this benefit) Reimbursement not to exceed the cost of 4 undergraduate credits at PSU per school year per employee who takes an approved course. The amount of tuition reimbursement available will vary according to such factors as the time of the year when employment begins and the number of hours worked per day, among others. Additional information can be found on online at https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/hr/Pages/Tuition-Reimbursement.aspx . Contact 356-4351 or email [email protected] with questions.

District badges will be replaced at the end of the expiration period. A lost or stolen badge needs to be immediately reported to the building supervisor and the Public Safety Office. To replace a lost or stolen badge an employee will incur a replacement fee of $10.00. OSEA (UNION) MEMBERSHIP: The District deducts OSEA dues or fair share fees from the wages of employees. The current calculation effective July 1, 2017, is 1.8% of gross annual income with no salary cap. A copy of your OSEA 2017-20 Contract agreement is located on the District Intranet. PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE: An employee’s probationary period shall extend for the first six months of scheduled work following the date on which the employee is hired as a regular employee on a notice of employment or following transfer to a different job. An evaluation by your site administrator should be conducted after six months have been successfully completed. After a successful six-month period, your tenure will then be as a “regular” employee. See your OSEA handbook Article 20 for more detailed information.

This includes accidents involving the students in your classroom as well as yourself. An Employee Injury Form needs to be filled out immediately after the accident and given to the administrator to sign. The forms are available in the school office or on the Portal. If medical attention is required, please call Risk Management immediately at (503)356-4560. RISK MANAGEMENT INFORMATION: There are a number of resources to assist you with safety questions. You are encouraged to speak with your supervisor, building administrator, safety committee, or call Risk Management at 503-356-4560. • • •



Safety is (our) #1 District priority, not just for one group, i.e. students, but for all staff, students, the public and our premises. BSD self-insures all major exposure: General Liability, Property, Workers Compensation If anyone has safety concerns: o Report it to your supervisor o Report it to your building administrator o Share it with your building’s safety committee o Call Risk Management at x4560 If an employee is injured on the job: o Report it to your supervisor o Complete an Employee Injury Form and send to Risk Management. o Report the injury to Risk Management at x4560 if you see a doctor o Obtain treatment from an Occupational Health Clinic or your Physician o We can accommodate most work restrictions and offer modified work to our employees until they are able to perform their regular duties.

A WORD ON SAFETY: Your superintendent and school board desire that every employee and student enjoys a very high level of safety while at school. To that end, we see every accident and injury as preventable. When an injury accident does occur, we need to learn from it in order to prevent the same thing from happening again. Each employee is encouraged to do all that they can to maintain a safe work environment and plan safety into all their school activities. There are a number of resources to assist you with safety questions. You are encouraged to speak with your supervisor, building administrator, safety committee, or call Risk Management at x4560. Our safety and emergency procedures are listed in detail in your school’s Comprehensive Safety Plan. Please see your building administrator to help with this or call Risk Management. The Comprehensive Safety Plan is also located on the Portal. All of our schools share a number of common hazards and safety issues, which are listed below. Ask yourself are: All walking surfaces free of trip/slip hazards All TV's secured to their AV carts All paper cutters fitted with blade guards All paper cutter blades kept in the down position All electrical plugs and cords in good condition All exit lights in working condition All student areas posted with fire drill exit signs All PowerBooks kept secure when not in use All classroom wall/bulletin board decorations meeting fire code All upholstered furniture treated with fire retardant All manual pencil sharpener blades covered All electric pencil sharpeners protected by GFI or located a safe distance from water

EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENTS The following emergency announcements are to be uniform in ALL schools. Common language will be utilized so all staff, volunteers and students will know what is expected of them. Verbal instructions over the school public address system will provide a uniform emergency signal system. A uniform announcement system will allow staff and students to react quickly in an emergency situation even though they may be present in different schools during the day. See an administrator for further emergency procedure information. UNIFORM EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENTS Evacuation: Announced over the school public address system, "This is an emergency evacuation." The fire alarm will be sounded. Lock out:

Announced over the school public address system, "This is an emergency lock out." This would mean there is a potentially violent situation in your school's neighborhood. Lock all exterior doors and monitor traffic into and out of the building.

Lock down:

Announced over the school public address system, "This is an emergency lock down." Staff will lock all doors and take immediate, protective action and keep all students in the classroom until the “All Clear” signal is given.

All Clear:

The school administrator will give the all clear announcement only after verifying with the Public Safety Office or responding law enforcement agency. The school administrator who called the first signal will also call the all clear. The announcement for an all clear will be the exact words of "All Clear." Any deviation in the exact wording should be interpreted that the administrator is under duress and has been taken hostage.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES DROP COVER AND HOLD ON (EARTHQUAKE OR EXPLOSION) Indoors: • Drop Take cover under a nearby desk or table, positioning as much of the body as possible under cover. • Cover the back of the head by clasping your hands. • Hold on to the table legs or side of the desk. Remain in position until the ground stops shaking, objects stop falling or someone indicates that this part of the drill has ended. • If there is no table or desk nearby, but there are chairs (such as an auditorium style arrangement): take cover under the chairs, if possible, and /or between the rows of chairs by dropping to the floor, holding on and protecting the eyes with the arm. • If there are no tables or chairs nearby (or not enough): take cover by dropping to the floor, against an interior wall that is not covered by mirrors or glass, if possible. Select the closest safe place between tables or against a wall. The "drop" position is preferred: on the floor, on the knees, leaning over to rest on the elbows, hands clasped behind the neck, face down for protection. Dance Studio with glass on all walls: Take cover by dropping to the floor, in the middle of the room away from the fall zone of any ceiling lights, if possible. In the hallway, gym or cafeteria: Drop, Cover, Hold: take the "drop" position alongside the walls. Try to avoid hazards such as windows, glass doors, unsecured lockers, trophy cases, etc. On stairs: Drop, Cover, Hold: Sit down, hold onto the handrail and cover your eyes. People with disabilities:

19

In a wheelchair: Remain in the chair, set brakes, lock your wheels and hold on. If you have a hard hat with you, put it on. With mobility impairments, but not in a wheelchair: If sitting at onset of earthquake, remain in place protecting head, if possible and hold on. If standing, sit down or brace body to avoid falling. People with mobility impairments, if possible, should not be routinely placed under or near potential hazards. Staff and other Caregivers: Drop, Cover and Hold as directed above so that you will be available and uninjured to assist others after the ground stops shaking. The staff should be the first to duck, cover and hold on.

Outdoors: • •

Drop, Cover, and Hold: Move away from buildings, power lines, block walls, and other items that might fall. Take the "drop" position or sit down. Remain in position until the ground stops shaking or someone indicates that this phase of the drill has ended.

EVACUATION Fire, Explosion, Internal Hazardous Materials Release, Post Earthquake The Incident Commander generally orders evacuation and students and staff are notified by the bell signal (commonly described as a fire drill bell). The Incident Commander calls for an evacuation during conditions in which the interior of the school buildings may not be safe such as a fire, explosion, or a hazardous materials spill in the building. (Check with the site secretary regarding their specific procedures.) Evacuation Procedures: Staff: o During an earthquake or any ground shaking, students and staff duck, cover and hold. o Evaluate situation; order immediate evacuation in case of fire, chemical spill, or obvious structural damage. o Check for injuries. o Initiate first aid for severe injuries, if necessary. o Take roll to make sure all students are accounted for. Note: If an earthquake, repeat above procedure for every aftershock. o Check with buddy teacher and if the buddy teacher is unable to complete above steps combine classes and repeat above steps. o Evacuate when advised to do so. (Evacuation routes should minimize exposure to hazards.) o Take roll again to make sure all students are accounted for. o Teachers and students are encouraged to face away from the building if explosion(s) are possible. This will assist in protecting the face from flying glass and other sharp material. Buddy teacher system: o Neighboring teachers are paired at the beginning of the school year. o If there are no injuries/problems, evacuate classes together, one teacher at the front of the line, other at rear to check that all students have been evacuated. o If one class has injuries, one teacher stays with the injured student; the other teacher takes both classes out. o If both classes have injuries and building appears stable, both classes wait for assistance. o Check on each other after an evacuation. Reentry: o

Do not reenter your building until the Public Safety Office, law enforcement or fire fighters give authorization. If the evacuation is the result of a natural disaster, an assessment may have to be made by on site personnel.

EMERGENCY LOCK DOWN (Person of Interest is Inside or Extremely Close) In an emergency lock down, we are locking ourselves in our current location. We are trying to get and keep space between us and the person(s) of concern (POC). In a lock down, the POC is usually on the inside attempting to commit crimes. However, an emergency lock down can be called if the POC is outside and close enough that movement within the building could be dangerous. Staff: o o o

Staff should bring all students into the classroom and wait for further instructions. It is recommended that teachers gather students into an area that affords the maximum protection and concealment from windows and doors. Some of our schools do not provide lockable classrooms. Therefore entire wings need to be locked to segregate themselves from the bad guy. In some schools it would be appropriate to place large numbers of students in the gym and cafeteria where they could lock themselves in for protection from the bad person. Students in PE and other specialty areas should lock down, in their locations. Students on recess should go to the gym or move to an approved evacuation point. If possible the classroom teacher should gather as many students as possible into their protection. It is unimportant which class a student belongs in as long as they are safely secured. Do not send carriers into the halls. If possible close drapes. Do not allow students to leave the room. If possible, the teachers, custodians and principal should lock all doors that will provide them further protection. Wait for further directions.

Staff in Portables: o If the POC is located in the main building and not in the portable, teachers should bring all students into the portable and wait for further instructions. o If possible the portable classroom staff should gather as many students as possible into their protection. • It is recommended that teachers gather students into an area that affords the maximum protection and concealment from windows. • Do not send carriers out of the portable. • If possible close drapes. • Do not allow students to leave the room. • If possible, the teacher should lock all doors. o If the POC is in the portable, leave the portable immediately and seek shelter in the main building and notify staff of the situation, and your new location. • If possible take roll to make sure all students are present. • Follow instructions for an emergency lock down, in the main building. Crisis Evacuation: o If the POC breaches your secure area it may be necessary to run from your current location and scatter to reduce your target potential. This may be the only way to save life and reduce injury. Once you have distanced yourself from the POC, you can then begin the process of gathering back together. o If it is necessary to conduct a crisis evacuation, where you run to is unimportant as long as it is away from your attacker. o It is not necessary to pre-plan a running route or where you will gather, as this would likely become another preplanned point of attack. o Speed and distance are of the utmost importance when confronted directly by an attacker. Ingenuity and boldness could make the difference between success and failure.

It should be understood that crisis evacuation is a last resort effort that is utilized if previously utilized Lock Out/Down procedures are inappropriate or have failed to render you and others safe. The decision to conduct a crises evacuation will be up to individual staff members at the time of the security breach or anticipated security breach. Crisis evacuations should not be drilled or widely publicized.

EMERGENCY LOCK OUT (Person of Concern is Outside) In an emergency lock out, we are trying to keep space between us and the Person of Concern (POC bad guy). In an emergency lock out the POC is on the outside attempting to commit crimes or escape apprehension. An emergency lock out should be called if the following conditions exist: o Dangerous POC is out of control and traveling toward or last seen near a school: • POC is suspected of being armed with a weapon or committing a heinous act. • POC is the respondent of a restraining order and the petitioner is one of our students, parents, or a staff member • POC is suicidal.

Teachers should bring all students into the classroom and continue the educational process. If possible close drapes. • If drapes or window coverings are not available, it is recommended that teachers gather students into an area that affords the maximum protection and concealment from windows. Students in gymnasiums and other specialty areas should lock out in their current location. Students on recess should lock out in the gym. If possible, classroom teachers should go to the location of their students. Take roll to make sure all students are present. • If possible, report missing students to the office via intercom or phone. Teachers can be given suspect information and descriptions. Do not allow students to leave the room until you are notified if any areas of the building will be considered off limits. The custodian, principal and assigned staff should lock and monitor all exterior doors. Be prepared to lock all the interior doors if a full lock down is ordered. Wait for further directions from law enforcement or the campus incident commander.

Staff in Portables: o Teachers should bring all students into their portables and wait for further instructions. o If possible close drapes. • If drapes or window coverings are not available, it is recommended that teachers gather students into an area that affords maximum protection and concealment from windows. o Take roll to make sure all students are present. o If possible report missing students or unusual circumstances to the office via intercom or phone which could include: • Medical situations including but not limited to medications stored in the main building, injuries and unusual reactions to stress, (diabetic). • Urgent and immediate need for restroom access. o The teacher will be notified if they will be moved to the main building. • Students can be moved to the main building or another campus if they can be moved safely by law enforcement or the security officers. • Students will be moved for the following reasons:  The dangerous situation is in close proximity or likely to occur near the portable.  The time span of the situation is likely to last longer than that would be tolerable by students and staff, i.e. restroom and food breaks are needed. o Wait for further directions from law enforcement or the campus incident commander.

SHELTER IN-PLACE (SIP) (Hazardous Materials Release, Storms) Although your first instinct may be to get away as far and as fast as possible from a hazardous materials incident, evacuation is not always the safest option. Your school can be a safe haven during a hazardous materials emergency. Up-front preparations are the key to your safety. "Sheltering In-Place" simply means staying inside your building until the emergency passes and the "all clear" signal is given. Local officials, especially the Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, are best qualified to recommend protective actions against hazardous materials incidents. During a release of hazardous materials, air quality may be threatened. Evacuation may take you through a plume of toxic chemicals, leading to serious, long term health risks or even death. Toxic releases can come without warning and allow only minutes to respond. SHELTER IN-PLACE PROCEDURES • Notify the Public Safety Office of your need to Shelter in Place (SIP) via your emergency radio and carry it with you at all times. • Evacuate to your shelter room. If possible, bring your classroom pets into the shelter room. Do not risk your safety for the safety of your classroom pets. • Take roll to make sure all students are present. • Close and lock all windows and doors to the outside. Close drapes or shades over all windows. Push wet towels under the doors to help seal against outside air. • Turn off HVAC systems, and switch inlets or vents to the "closed" position. • Use tape and labeled plastic sheeting to seal around doors and windows, heating vents, or any opening which could let in air (in shelter room only). • While sheltering in-place, stay away from windows. • If there is no phone in your designated shelter room, bring along a battery-operated or cellular phone. • Do not go outside or attempt to drive unless you are specifically told to do so. • Evacuation procedures may vary by community. • Do not leave your shelter until the "all clear" signal is sounded. • Do listen to the Emergency Alert System radio messages.

Top Ten Things for You to Know 1. “IF IT IS WET, AND IT IS NOT YOURS, DON’T TOUCH IT!” 2. Blood or bloody fluid can transmit bloodborne pathogens (like the HIV or Hepatitis B viruses) - use appropriate protection if you must be in contact with blood. 3. Contact your school office staff immediately if a student/staff member needs assistance with blood or a bloody fluid situation. 4. Keep a pair of vinyl gloves with you (in clothes pocket) in case you are in an area where gloves are not readily available. 5. Protect yourself and students from bloodborne pathogen exposure by: • directing students away from the blood spill; • contacting the school office for assistance; • disposing used gloves in a lined wastebasket; • washing hands well following the incident. 6. Remember, substitutes that work in particular areas (e.g. Special Education) are eligible for the Hepatitis B vaccine series. (Contact Debbie Johnson, RN, for details at 503 591-4459.) 7. An occupational exposure occurs when another person’s blood or bloody fluids enter your body through mucous membrane contact (eyes, nose, or mouth), human bite that breaks the skin, or puncture by an instrument that was contaminated with another person’s blood. 8. If a student approaches you with a bloody nose or mouth, let the student apply the tissue or paper towel to the bloody area; do not apply if for them.

23

9. If you do have an occupational exposure, report the exposure immediately (less than 1 hour) to your Supervisor who will then contact Risk Management at 503 591-4560. You will be instructed as to where to receive medical services. 10. A copy of the District’s Exposure Control Plan is kept at each school office and work site.

SCHOOL SPEED ZONES EXPLAINED Remember your ABC’s to help you remember Oregon School Speed limit law. The speed limit is 20 mph or less in school zones in any of the following situations: A - Any time a yellow light on a school speed sign is flashing; B - Between 7 am and 5 pm on school days, as posted on signs in a school zone adjacent to school grounds; and C - Crosswalks not adjacent to school grounds. This means where children are waiting at a crosswalk or occupying or walking within a crosswalk, or a traffic patrol member is present to assist children at a crosswalk.

IN THE CLASSROOM Building a Team: How we can work together to be successful. Two concepts came to the top when discussing this process. We need good communication (between all involved), and we need time to collaborate. The following are bulleted items that we believe will help us be more successful. How instructional assistants can help teachers be successful • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Be a good communicator Support the teacher in the classroom, with individual students, and with parents when requested and appropriate Understand that if a change is made, the teacher needs to be supported Respect teacher and students Learn about the students and their IEP’s and assist as needed Be self-directed Be willing to accept directions, a teacher’s role is to supervise the learning of all students Ask questions when clarification is needed Be dependable Actively give feedback to teacher on how students are progressing Understand the nature of learning disabilities (District supported training) Be trained in the curriculum (District supported training) Be trained to meet the needs of the student population (District supported training) Understand and respect the boundaries between the instructional assistant and the teacher, between the I.A. and the students, and between the I.A. and the parents Know and understand the teaching staff and their expectations I.A. with degrees must understand their boundaries within their current assigned position Respect the rights and responsibilities of their role, as well as that of the teacher

SUGGESTIONS FOR CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT Here are a few suggestions to help you, the students and the staff enjoy your Instructional Assistant experience: 1. You are under the direct supervision of the classroom teacher(s) and the building administrator(s) and your classroom responsibilities may look differently from one building to another. 2. Teachers appreciate what you do for them more than they will ever have time to tell you. Become their right hand, third eye, and extra set of legs. Sit down with the teacher(s) and establish the scope and boundaries of your responsibilities then work independently as much as possible within your parameters.

24

3. Remember that you are there to provide assistance to the teacher. Self -confidence, self-knowledge, resilience, initiative and resourcefulness are some necessary prerequisites. 4. If there is time before class begins, review the day’s schedule and become familiar with related activities. 5. If discipline problems arise which you are unable to manage, talk to the teacher about that classroom’s procedures. 6. Your primary source of learning is from teachers and other Instructional Assistants. Observe them and learn from them. 7. In any situation, no matter how well managed, emergencies will arise. Accidents, illness, the administering of medication, and other emergencies must be referred to the teacher, administrator, or designee. 8. Good communication between you and the regular employee is essential to students’ continuity of learning. A summary of the day’s activities is appropriate. Tips for Successful Communication: • Clarity: Say what you mean • Professional demeanor: Friendly but businesslike. • Positive approach: Messages that produce positive feelings and good self-concept. • Flexibility: Change your thinking or admit mistakes when necessary • The two-part test: Evaluate what you are going to say: Is it true? Will it help? If what you are about to say doesn’t pass both, don’t say it.

WORDS TO REMEMBER “We are all teachers. Every day, in every setting and social role we play, we are teaching. Teaching is at the core of our humanity….As parents or leaders, managers or mentors, coaches or instructors or neighbors, we are constantly teaching-sometimes intentionally, sometimes skillfully, sometimes neither.” “Coupled with the idea that we are all teachers is an equally powerful faith: We can all become better teachers. And it matters that we do.” Eric Liu Guiding Lights

In all situations, remember that the students are always the kid and you are always the adult So many unfortunate situations and misunderstandings could be avoided if our folks remembered this simple standard When you work for a school district you must remember that society simply sets a higher moral standard for your behavior You should never use language on school premises that you wouldn’t feel comfortable having your own grandmother overhear You should not be using district equipment to access websites that you wouldn’t comfortably share with your own nieces and nephews You should not bring printed material or photographs to school that you wouldn’t feel comfortable showing to your neighbor You shouldn’t pass along jokes or discuss topics of conversation that you wouldn’t be comfortable sharing with your children The school environment needs to be a very safe and special place for children All of us need to protect and maintain their school environment Sometimes we hear from employees that they never intended their email, websites, books, magazines, jokes, etc. to fall into children’s hands and we’re sure that these folks are very sincere The problem is that they sometimes do even with the best of precautions Furthermore, you run the risk of these same materials offending co-workers as well, which can result in an uncomfortable or even hostile work environment for them The best bet is to think smart, use common sense and stick to the business of helping kids.
