Staff Parking:
Please don’t park in the spaces in front of the school. There are parking lots on both sides of the building where you can park.
Classroom:
You are welcome to come in as early as 7:00AM on Monday to set up your classroom. You will be the only one using the room, so you can leave your materials in place for the week.
The supplies you ordered will be placed in your classroom for you We will have a few wheeled carts and flatbeds if you need to unload things from your car, but if you may want to consider bringing a dolly or wagon from home if you have one. Help us be good guests at Sherwood!
DO NOT PUT TAPE ON ANY SURFACE IN THE BUILDING. If you need to hang something, we have special 3M squares in the office that you can use. Do not use any of the supplies in the classroom – only use the supplies purchased for your class. Each classroom has a projector, white board and apple TV. Pick up or sweep large trash or messes each day Put the chairs up at the end of every day to make it easier for the cleaners Please put your trash basket in the hall at the end of the day Make sure all windows are closed and locked before you leave
Attendance Sheets
There will be a clipboard in the lobby with attendance sheets for your class. Please pick up your clipboard on Monday and keep it all week. Please take attendance every day and be sure to return your completed attendance sheet to the office at the end of the week.
If a child shows up in your class and their name isn’t on your attendance sheet, please let us know immediately.
Afternoon Session:
Please report to the gym by 11:55, take attendance and take your kids to your classroom promptly at 12:00. We will bring any latecomers directly to your classroom.
Start cleaning up around 2:45, and bring the kids back to the gym at 2:55 for dismissal, or send them to the cafeteria if they are staying for extended day (this will be marked on your attendance sheet.) Please have parents initial the attendance sheet when they pick up their child.
Emergency procedures:
In the event of a fire alarm, please exit through the nearest door, and be sure to bring your clipboard with the attendance sheet. Once outside, take attendance, and then bring your group to the field behind the school. On your clipboard will be a green card and a red card. Please hold up the green card if you have all of your students. Hold up the red card if any of your students are missing.
Volunteers:
You will have 1 or more volunteers assigned to your class. We will ask you to complete a volunteer verification sheet at the end of each week, so you may want to add the names of your volunteers to your attendance sheet and check them in each day. Attached is the list of volunteer expectations that we review with them prior to starting. Please reinforce these rules, and let us know if you are having any difficulties.
Other important information
There is a nurse on-site from 8:15-3:15. Feel free to send any student who is sick or injured to the nurse’s office If you have a child in your class with allergies, we will include the information on your clipboard.
