Arrival/Departure

Students:
Students will be allowed in the building at 7:25 AM. Those attending breakfast will go to the cafeteria to get their breakfast and then on to their rooms. In the afternoon, buses will depart by 2:40 PM. Car riders are to be picked up by that time as well. The office should be informed of any students who are habitually late being picked up.

Staff:
The standard workday for certified personnel is 7:15 AM – 3:00 PM. On the approval of their supervisor, teachers in the WS/FCS are permitted to flex time. This allows them to arrive later or leave earlier than the stated times on occasion. All teaching staff, with the exception of Primary Reading teachers, should be at their duty stations by the 7:25 bell. PRT’s should arrive by the 7:55 bell and be ready for classes to begin at 8:05. The PRT’s day ends at 11:45. They are expected to assist in bringing the students to the cafeteria, but are not required to remain. This time becomes planning time for PRT’s.

A duty free lunch period is provided for certified personnel. Classified personnel work from 7:15 AM – 3:15 PM. WS/FCS policy does not allow for a duty free lunch for classified personnel. Every Tuesday has been set aside for meetings. These meetings begin at 2:40 PM. Please do not schedule appointments on Tuesdays.

Classified staff that are required to work before or after their regular hours will be issued “COMP Time” coupons which can be used to take time off without loss of annual leave time. The only exception to this will be staying late for staff meetings as discussed under the heading “Staff Meetings.” The issuing of “COMP Time” coupons must be authorized in advance by an administrator. No other COMP time arrangement will be honored. Any use of “COMP Time” coupons must be approved in advance by an administrator. The decision will be based on the needs of the school. “COMP Time” coupons will be issued in ½ hour increments. Teachers are responsible for keeping up with their own coupons. Coupons should be attached to requests for absence and given to and administrator at least one day in advance of the desired time off.
The Home-School coordinator's hours are set by the office and may differ from the norm for the remainder of the staff due to the needs of our students.
