Policy Statement:

Classroom Activities

These two forms are for you to use when you want to do an activity that is outside the normal daily schedule, or show a video in your classroom. Please remember to fill these out well in advance so we can review them and get you the information you need in order to prepare.

If you have already talked to me about a video that is part of your 180 day plan, and it has been approved as such, you don't need to get it approved year after year.  This is for anything outside your plan or any new videos you wish to present.

With regard to the activities - this is for elementary culminating activities and Jr. High activities where student or staff schedules may be affected, changed, or if there are any facility needs, or support needs you may have.  Really anything out of your normal daily classroom lessons are what we are hoping to be notified of.

We hope that this will help administration support you in any needs you may have, and also make sure we know what is happening in the school for when we get calls and inquiries from parents and students who want information.  For example, we may get a call from a parent saying "my child has been asked to bring X (food, special clothing, etc) to school on Tuesday and I wondered how much I should prepare"?  If we don't know what is happening, it sounds bad to the parents when we say "we have no idea what you are talking about and cannot be of any help".  Sometimes the student doesn't tell the parent even what class it is for and we can't help.  So we hope you will see we are not trying to make your job harder, just trying to facilitate communication and support you in any way we can.
