What is the morning call out timeframe for same day absences?
This action creates an unsafe environment for students no matter the location (classroom, hallway, outside, etc) in the school. As a result, corrective actions up to and including immediate termination can occur. That doesnt mean you can never use the bathroom...you just have to phone a friend!
We take management of this very seriously. Please don't keep this in your classroom or office area once it is collected. You should turn all of this into the Chief Operating Officer each and every day so it can be accounted for and held in a locked safe.
What is money?
This period of time that all teachers are allotted is not considered a "lunch break" therefore employees may not leave the building (without prior approval.) Its ok if you keep snacks at your desk in case you get "hangry!"

The definitive record of employee time. If you don't use it you wont get paid!
What is ...Paychex or time clock?
This may only be used on or in a professional capacity for school related topics or materials. Also, please don't make any changes to the color scheme or design. Put some "respect" on that Wildcat!
What is the school logo, design or letterhead?
Please be sure that these are limited to emergencies only or that they are taken out of absolute necessity and shouldn't become a distraction to teaching. I'm sure your loved ones will understand that you need to focus on your students!
What are phone calls?
SCCS is an at-will employer. Should you decide to move on to other professional opportunities...Please provide, in writing, a notice of this many days to your supervisor so that adequate adjustments may be made to allow for the least amount of disruption for the students.

In addition to doing these for new all hires; Human Resources (operations department) may conduct these on a random and rotating basis. Employees are expected to disclose any charges within 5 days anyway.

What is your intent to return?
