Welcome to the new school year. You are fortunate to be working at Los Angeles High School, the city's oldest high school. It was founded in 1873 and has been located here on Olympic Blvd. since 1917.

NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
The Los Angeles Unified School District is committed to providing a working and learning environment that is free from discrimination and harassment based on an individual's sex, sexual orientation, gender, ethnic group identification, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, color, or mental or physical disability, or any other basis protected by federal, state, local law, ordinance, or regulation. Harassment under
Title IX (sex), Title VI (race, color, or national origin), and Section 504 and Title R of the ADA (mental or physical disability) is a form of unlawful discrimination that will not be tolerated by the District. Harassment is intimidation or abusive behavior toward a student/employee that creates a hostile environment, and that can result in disciplinary action against the offending student or employee. Harassing conduct can take many forms, including verbal acts and name-calling, graphic and written statements, or conduct that is physically threatening or humiliating.
This nondiscrimination policy covers admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, District programs and activities, including vocation education. The lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission to or participation in District programs or activities.
Additional information prohibiting other forms of unlawful discrimination/harassment, inappropriate behavior, and/or hate crimes may be found in other District policies that are available in all schools and offices. It is the intent of the District that all such policies be read consistently to provide the highest level of protection from unlawful discrimination in the provision of educational services and opportunities.
The District prohibits retaliation against anyone who files a complaint or who participates in a complaint investigation.
Any inquiries regarding this District nondiscrimination policy or the filing of discrimination/harassment complaints may be directed to:
Deanne Neiman, Director
Educational Equity Compliance Office
Los Angeles Unified School District

SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Los Angeles Unified School District is committed to maintaining a working and learning environment that is free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment of or by employees or students is a form of gender discrimination in that it constitutes differential treatment on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender, and, for that reason, is a violation of state and federal laws and a violation of this policy.
The District considers sexual harassment to be a major offense that can result in disciplinary action to the offending employee or the suspension or expulsion of the offending student in grades four through twelve. Suspension or expulsion as a disciplinary consequence for sexual harassment shall not apply to students enrolled in Kindergarten and grades one through three.
Any student or employee of the District who believes that she or he has been a victim of sexual harassment shall bring the problem to the attention of the proper authority (whether in an office or a school) so that appropriate action may be taken to resolve the problem. The District prohibits retaliatory behavior against anyone who files a sexual harassment complaint or any participant 'in the complaint 'investigation process. Any such complainant is further advised that civil law remedies may also be available to them. Complaints will be promptly investigated in a way that respects the privacy of the parties concerned.
The California Education Code Section 212.5 defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in the work or educational setting, under the following conditions:
• Submission to the conduct is explicitly or implicitly made a term or a condition of an individual's employment, academic status, or progress.
• Submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis of employment or academic decisions affecting the individual.
• The conduct has the purpose or effect of having a negative impact upon the individual's work or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment.
• Submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis for any decision affecting the individual regarding benefits and services, honors, programs, or activities available at or through the educational institution.
Sexual harassment may include, but is not limited to:
• Unwelcome verbal conduct such as suggestive, derogatory comments, sexual innuendos, slurs, or unwanted sexual advances, invitations, or comments; pestering for dates; making threats; or spreading rumors about or rating others as to sexual activity or performance.
• Unwelcome visual conduct such as displays of sexually suggestive objects, pictures, posters, written material, cartoons, or drawings; graffiti of a sexual nature; or use of obscene gestures.
• Unwelcome physical conduct such as unwanted touching, pinching, kissing, patting, hugging, blocking of normal movement assault; or interference with work or study directed at an individual because of the individual's sex, sexual orientation, or gender.
• Threats and demands or pressure to submit to sexual requests in order to keep a job or academic standing or to avoid other loss, and offers of benefits in return for sexual favors.
For further assistance with student concerns, contact Deanne Neiman, Director, Educational Equity Compliance, at (213) 241-7682.
For further assistance with employee concerns, contact the Equal Opportunity Section, at (213) 241-7600.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
The Title 1 Office
Coordinator…………Chichi Mbuko
Office Assistant……..Valerie Lozano
Location……………..Room 603
The Title 1 program provides enrichment through:
➢ Tutoring
➢ Curricular (field) trips
➢ Teacher assistants in classrooms
➢ Creative Learning Center (computer lab)
➢ Satellite computer classrooms
➢ Instructional materials
What is Title 1?
"Title I ", is the name of the program authorized under the Improving America’s Schools Act, from Congress. It is an entitlement program originally established in the 1960s.
The purpose of Title I, is to enable schools to provide opportunities for children served to acquire the knowledge and skills contained in the state’s challenging content and student performance standards that all children are expected to meet.
There are nine (9) parts to which Title 1 funds may be directed:
Part A: Improving Basic Programs Operated By Local Educational Agencies
Part B: Student Reading Skills Improvement Grants
Part C: Education of Migratory Children
Part D: Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk
Part E : National Assessment of Title 1
Part F : Comprehensive School Reform
Part G : Advanced Placement Programs
Part H : School Dropout prevention
Part I : General Provisions
What is a Targeted Assistance School?
A targeted assistance school is one that receives funds yet is ineligible or has chosen not to operate a Title I School-wide program. The term "targeted assistance" signifies that the services are provided to a select group of children--those identified as failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the State's challenging content and student performance standards--rather than for overall school improvement, as in School-wide programs. Like School-wide program schools, the goal of a targeted assistance school is to improve teaching and learning to enable Part A participants to meet the challenging State performance standards that all children are expected to master. To accomplish this goal, a targeted assistance program must be based on effective means for improving achievement of participating children; use effective instructional strategies that give primary consideration to extended-time strategies, provide accelerated, high-quality curricula, and highly-qualified and trained professional staff; and implement strategies to increase parental involvement.
A targeted assistance school differs from a School-wide program school in several significant respects:
• funds may be used in targeted assistance schools only for programs that provide services to eligible children identified as having the greatest need for special assistance.
• funds must be used for services that supplement, and do not supplant, the services that would be provided from non-Federal sources.
• Records must be maintained that document that funds are spent on activities and services for only participating students.
Who is Eligible for Services?
One of the primary differences between School-wide program schools and targeted assistance schools is the requirement that the latter may use Title I, funds only for programs that provide services to eligible children identified as having the greatest need for special assistance. Targeted assistance schools, therefore, may not provide services to all children in the school or in particular grades.
Who receives services?
A school operating a targeted assistance program must use Title I funds only for programs that are designed to meet the needs of children identified by the school as failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the State's challenging student performance standards. In general, eligible children are identified on the basis of multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the LEA (local educational agency) and supplemented by the school. Children who are economically disadvantaged, children with disabilities, migrant children, and limited English proficient (LEP) children are eligible for services on the same basis as other children who are selected for services. In addition, certain categories of children are considered at risk of failing to meet the State's student performance standards and are thus eligible for Title I services because of their status. Such children include: children who are homeless, children who participated in a Head Start or Even Start program at any time in the two preceding years; children who received services under a program for youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk of dropping out at any time in the two preceding years; and children who are in a local institution for neglected or delinquent children or attending a community day program. From the pool of eligible children, a targeted assistance school selects those children who have the greatest need for special assistance to receive services. In a targeted assistance school, of which Los Angeles High is one, funds available may be used only for programs that are designed to help participating children meet the State’s student performance standards expected of all children.
How are funds generated?
There exists a difference between the eligibility of children to be counted for the purpose of generating funds under Title1 and the eligibility of children for the title1 program services. Children with the status, low-income, foster child, etc, may be counted for the purpose of generating funds, but any child – regardless of income or status – who is at risk of not achieving state standards is potentially eligible for services if he or she attends a Title 1 school. Therefore there is no necessary connection between the children who generate the funds and the children who receive services.
Serving Limited English Proficient Students and
Students with Disabilities
Children with disabilities and LEP children are eligible for services on the same basis as other children who are selected for services. However, they are also entitled to services required by law because of their disability or their limited proficiency in English. To avoid supplanting, a targeted assistance school may not use funds to provide the level of services necessary to meet Federal, State, or local law requirements for limited-English-proficient children or children with disabilities. Funds may be used, however, to coordinate and supplement these services as well as to provide additional direct services to these children.

English as a Second Language
English Language Learners – room 163
The ESL/Bilingual Program offers services that enable English learners to develop language, literacy, and academic learning in order to meet the challenges of the future. Eligible students are provided with educational experiences that will prepare them to live and function effectively in a diverse society.
College Incentive Magnet
Magnet Office next to Deans
Students in the magnet take classes that emphasize Math, Science, and Technology. Magnet classes are all scheduled on C-track. The primary goals of this specialized Magnet are to prepare high school students for college or university entrance and to sharpen the skills necessary to succeed in college. Students in the magnet take college preparatory classes with special emphasis in Math, Science, and Technology. These magnet students must expect to do two to four hours of homework every night, and they are strongly encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities.
Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)
Counseling Office
The GATE Program serves students who have been identified by the State of California as “gifted”. The goal of the program is for teachers to develop a flexible, individualized, differentiated curriculum that can meet the needs of these academically able students.
College Office
Room 178
The college office provides services to all students at Los Angeles High School. It helps students prepare their post-secondary education plans, investigate college admission requirements, explore testing requirements, and receive general counseling services related to education after high school. Representatives from colleges and universities visit the school regularly to provide information and assistance to students. In the college office students will find references, catalogues, brochures, pamphlets and additional materials related to colleges. Upper classmen and peers are available to answer questions and help others.
Career Center/Perkins
Room 178
The Career Information Center housed with the College Office is a one-stop center for career advisement and information on: graduation requirements and portfolios, ROP/ROC programs, school-to-work programs, internships, job shadowing, volunteer and community service programs, LAUSD First Break job listings, college classes for high school students, vocational and technical schools, specialized electives, military recruitment, career planning workshops, SAT Prep, the Perkins Program, and Riordan Scholars. The Career Information Center presents speakers, takes students on career-related field trips, provides videos, software, and general career-related information.
Work Experience Education
Room 603
This program provides students with an opportunity to receive paid job training and earn high school credits while enrolled in school or when “off track”. Students must meet a set of eligibility requirements. The Work Experience Office is located in the Career Center.
Special Education
All students in the Special Education program have some kind of disability as defined in their Individualized Education Program (IEP). Many have learning or cognitive disabilities; some have physical disabilities; others have developmental disabilities. All these disabilities prevent students from processing visual and auditory information in the same manner as the majority of students in regular education. It is the responsibility of the Special Education teachers to provide students with an equal opportunity for learning and personal growth.
Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)
The Tobacco Use Prevention Education program provides services and awareness education to smoking students and the general student population. The TUPE program holds an annual event—the Great American Smoke-out (GASO). GASO provides awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco use and advertising.
Health Office
Los Angeles High School’s Health Office provides emergency services to students and staff. Students’ health problems are evaluated, treated and appropriate referrals are made. Students with specialized needs are helped with procedures such as blood sugar testing and catheterizations. Students are also assisted in taking prescribed medication during school hours. The Health Office also provides crisis intervention service for suicide and for suspected child abuse cases. Vision and hearing problems are assessed and referred. Students who participate in interscholastic athletics are evaluated by the school nurse before they can participate. The school nurse is on duty Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:15 PM.
Teen Health Clinic
The Teen Health Clinic is run by Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The staff includes physicians, a nurse practitioner, a licensed vocational nurse, a health educator, a case manager, a psychologist, several social work and psychology interns, and a receptionist. The Teen Clinic provides medical and mental health services to all students at Los Angeles High School. These services include physical exams, family planning, and immunizations. The Clinic also provides mental health, counseling and referrals to the community. Students need a parent consent form signed and verified by parents or guardians before the Clinic’s services can be made available. All services are confidential. Clinic hours are from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The Clinic is closed from 12:00 to 1:00 PM.
Impact
Impact is a program designed to provide students with support. Sometimes it is difficult to concentrate when life’s pressures seem overwhelming. Impact offers group sessions to help students cope with life’s situations and events. Student success is our only concern. Some of the groups we offer are: alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, sober support/anger management, grief crisis, concerned persons, gay, lesbian and bisexual crisis, and pregnant and parenting teens in crisis. Stop by the Impact Office or drop a note in the Impact Coordinator’s box if you would like to participate.
The High Priority School Grant
The High Priority School Grant is a state grant given to Decile 1 schools, Los Angeles High School being one of the 14 Decile 1 schools in Local District E. The grant is currently being used to train teachers to create lessons and assessments aligned with the State Content Standards, to provide support/tutoring programs and to purchase supplemental materials to help improve student achievement. Other special services and parent programs will also be integrated with the grant.
Rimpau Players – Corwin Theatre
The Rimpau Players had their inaugural production in December 1991 when thirteen teachers and one student staged ten scenes from Shakespeare. The group has done one or two productions a year since. The Rimpau Players are dedicated to two basic principles: (a) affording an opportunity for students and adults to work together and (b) performing a mixture of classics and contemporary works.

Library
Library Hours
Monday-Friday
7:15am-3:40pm
Closed period two
9:15-9:45am
The school library is located on the second floor of the east wing and provides book check-out services.
Computers that are research stations are fully networked and online are available to teachers and students
Due to the increase in the number of classes wishing to use the library for research purposes, we must limit the number of consecutive days that classes may sign up. Teachers may sign up in advance for library use for one day only. Two classes per period is the maximum allowed at one time in the library.
Library orientation is available upon request.
Library Rules
1. Students must have a library pass and student ID to enter library during class time.
2. Students must have a student ID to check out books.
3. No food or drinks allowed in the library.
4. Teachers need to arrange in advance to bring a class to the library.
5. Teachers must accompany their classes and remain with their classes for the whole period.
6. Library is closed period 2, but can be reserved by appointment.
7. The library is not a classroom, and may be used for library purposes only.
Computer Lab (CLC)
The Creative Learning Center (CLC) computer lab in room 276 is equipped with 37 computers, 5 high-quality black-and-white laser printers, and an LCD projector. All computers have Internet access and are connected to the CLC instructional network. The lab also has scanners and other equipment available for more limited use.
During class time and after school, teaching assistants and student aides are often (but not always) available to help with lessons and equipment problems in the lab.
Lab procedures and rules.
The lab is mainly for teachers who want to bring an entire class to work on computer-related projects. Students with passes and valid LA ID cards are also admitted if space is available.
Individual students or classes will not be admitted to the CLC lab during the school day unless they have specific, school-related work to complete.
All normal school computer rules are strictly enforced in the CLC computer lab at all times. (See the section on school computer rules.)
Students and teachers using the lab must abide by LAUSD’s Acceptable Use Policy at all times when using the Internet.
Teachers may not send classes or large groups of students to the computer lab unaccompanied or supervised only by teaching assistants. The lab is not a holding pen for students.
Teachers must have appropriate lessons for classes in the lab. The technology coordinator will be happy to assist teachers prepare lessons. If useful, the technology coordinator will also help teach students how to use necessary software.
Lab hours. The lab is open 6 periods a day. It is open at lunchtime and after school until
5:15 pm. It is not open before school or during homeroom.
How to sign up. Teachers can arrange to bring classes to the lab by contacting the school technology coordinator in person in room 276 or by phoning extension 224. The schedule fills up quickly, so we advise teachers to plan ahead and schedule early in the year. In order to provide more equal access, we will not normally schedule a class into the lab for more than 6 meetings a term.
Color printing. The lab is equipped with a high-quality color laser printer, which students can use to produce final drafts of projects. Because of the high cost of color printing, the color laser is not available to students on demand. We allow students to print single, final drafts of projects on this machine, nothing more.

Classroom Rules for Computers
There are five common-sense rules that we expect all teachers to enforce in classrooms and labs containing computers.
It is important that teachers model good behavior for students. This means that teachers are also expected to follow the rules, especially rules 1 & 4.
Teachers must understand that computers at school are not recreational devices. Teachers should never use computer time as a reward, and they should never allow students free time on computers. If students are working on computers in a teacher’s room, there should be a sound educational purpose, and the teacher should know what activity the student is working on.
This is a minimum set, not a limiting set of rules. If teachers want to impose more stringent rules in their own classrooms, they are free to do so.
Here are the rules:
1. No food, drink (any liquid), or gum may be placed near computers or printers ever. Please do not ever set food or drink on tables or desks that have computers.
2. Make-up, perfumes, grooming chemicals or fine powders may not be opened in rooms containing computers or printers.
3. No student may load software onto a computer (except students who are employees of the school assigned that responsibility by a school administrator).
4. Recreational computer games of all types are forbidden during school time.
5. Students must have and display valid LA High student IDs when working at any computer at LA High.
In more general terms, keep these two points in mind:
➢ All computer use, whether by students or by faculty, must be related to some specific educational purpose. This can be a project, a lesson, or an assignment. It can be educational research. It can be practice and training on computer applications. It can be something related to student or teacher productivity. Nothing else is allowable.
➢ Computers that sit idle for long periods of time will be vandalized. If students are using computers productively, they will take care of them. If they are not allowed to use computers, they will carve them into junk. Please find ways to use these expensive and valuable tools in your lessons. If you need help finding ways to incorporate technology into your curriculum, consult with the technology coordinator (currently, LLon King). He is paid to help you.
Computer-related Classroom Rules
➢ No food, drink (any liquid), or gum may be placed near computers or printers ever.
➢ Make-up, perfumes, grooming chemicals or powders may not be opened in rooms containing computers or printers.
➢ No student may load software into a computer (except students who are employees of the school assigned that responsibility by a school administrator).
➢ Recreational computer games of all types are forbidden during school time.
➢ Students must have and display valid LA High student IDs when working at any computer at LA High.
LAUSD Internet Accounts
Home Accounts. The School District offers free home Internet accounts to both teachers and students. Forms for both types of account are available in the CLC computer lab, room 276. They are also in this notebook.
Once forms are completed, they must be faxed to district offices. No other form of submission is currently accepted.
It takes the District a long time to process applications. Students generally must wait 10 to 12 weeks before user names and passwords are issued. Teachers generally must wait at least 8 weeks.
After forms are processed, account information (user names and passwords) are returned by school mail. Teacher forms are returned to teacher mailboxes. Student forms are returned to sponsoring teachers for distribution to the students.
Students must study the district’s Internet Acceptable Use Policy and complete a short multiple-choice test before an account application can be submitted. Students must also list a teacher sponsor on the application and sign a form stating they will agree to the School District’s acceptable use policies both at home and at school. Parents or guardians must also sign a consent form.
Teachers must sign both the Software Policy and Code of Ethics form and the Employee Agreement on the Acceptable Use Policy before receiving an account.
Setting up the computer account. The staff of the CLC is happy to provide general information on how to set up computers for Internet access. Just come to room 276 and ask us. We will help as much as we can. However, we cannot guarantee that the District’s service will work on home computers, and we do not allow students or teachers to bring personal computers to school for repairs or configuration.
Telephone assistance is available by calling LAUSD’s helpdesk (866) 633-8110 and then dialing 0 for the operator.
Internet at school. Internet is provided at school for students and faculty at no charge. You do not need an Internet account to access the Internet at school. Just click on the icon of the Internet browser (usually Internet Explorer) on any network-connected computer, and you will be connected to the Internet.
Email at school. If you apply for an Internet account with LAUSDNet, you will receive an email address that you can use at home and at school.
Currently, Los Angeles High does not have an internal email server. Most ISPs (your Internet provider) support e-mail access over the World Wide Web, and you can access your email by going to the site provided by your ISP.
Most free email services (such as and ) are blocked by the District for legal reasons. If you have no other email provider, you will not be able to access your email on school computers.
Donations
Donations must be accompanied by a signed letter from the donor. The letter should describe the items involved, estimate their value, and provide the donor’s name, address, and phone number. The donation should be made to “Los Angeles Unified School District for use at Los Angeles High School.” These donation letters must be dated.
You must provide a copy of the donation letter to the Assistant Principal in charge of facilities (Mr. Fernandez), and get his permission before accepting the donation. If the donation involves computer-related equipment or software, you must also provide a copy of the letter and any accompanying purchase receipts to the technology coordinator.
If the donation involves cash or negotiable securities such as stocks and bonds, you must contact the school principal and advise her of the donation in advance.
Most equipment that people or businesses want to donate is obsolete. Much of it is in need of repair. Generally, used equipment is more trouble than it is worth. Almost all of it ends up in the junk pile because we don’t have funds or spare parts to make needed repairs. Make sure equipment really does have function and value before you accept it. If you are not sure, just say “thank you, but no.”
Donations should be acknowledged by a letter from the school signed by the principal.
Donation of computers
Every donated computer must be accompanied by donated software, including an operating system. This software must be listed in the donation letter. A copy of the sales receipt or purchase order for the software must accompany the donation. If there is no record of the software’s purchase, we cannot use the computer and should not accept it.
Discarding old equipment (salvage)
Q: I found an old broken down typewriter in my room. It’s in my way. I need to get rid of it. A student in my homeroom says his mother really needs a typewriter. He says he’ll take it and get it fixed. Is it okay to give this worthless old machine to him, or should I just throw it away?
A. The answer to both questions and to similar questions is, sad to say, “no.” You can’t give old equipment away, and you shouldn’t just throw it in the trash.
There is a process called salvage that you must go through to get rid of old equipment. All this equipment belongs to LAUSD, which means it belongs to the taxpayers. As an employee, you do not have the right to give equipment away, sell it, or exchange it, no matter how worthless the equipment may seem to you. Also, many times old equipment contains parts made up of hazardous materials. It is important that these are recycled safely or disposed of properly.
So, what do you do?
You must fill out a form called a salvage form. The form has all sorts of complexity to it, as LAUSD forms often do, but you only have to fill out three columns: (1) the quantity, (2) the description, and (3) the unit price. If you don’t know the unit price, take a guess. Putting $1 for the unit price is perfectly acceptable if you think the equipment is worthless, but you must put a price. Zero is not acceptable. Finally, make sure you put the date on the form and—most importantly—include the room number where the item is located. You put this room number just right of LA High’s address near the top of the form. You also need to put your name on the form. You can just print your name at the top in the margin above the organization code.
Once you fill out the form, including your room number or the location of the items and your name, send the form to the school’s plant manager (currently, Mr. McBride). You can just put it in his mailbox in the main office.
Keep a copy of the form in case the original gets lost or misplaced. If a custodian does not remove the equipment from your room in a reasonable time…four or five days…contact the plant manager again or speak to the Assistant Principal in charge of facilities (currently, Mr. Whitfield). If the equipment is large, bolted down, or otherwise difficult to move, LAUSD movers will be sent out to pick it up. This can take six weeks or more, so be patient.

➢ Upon returning to school it is the teacher's responsibility to complete a certification of absence card and return it to the payroll clerk immediately.
➢ If it is necessary for you to extend your absence:
o Telephone school by 2:00 p.m.
o Give the message only to-the switchboard operator or Mrs. Lovett, the Admin. Asst.

EMERGENCY LESSON PLANS
Lesson plans to cover an emergency absence are to be on file with the Assistant Principal supervising substitutes and with Department Chairpersons.
Plans will include:
➢ Activities for one day
➢ Location of materials (i.e. books, supplies)
➢ Seating charts and copies of roll sheets
➢ Special instructions
CLASS COVERAGE
There are two types of class coverage assignments:
1. PAID ASSIGNMENT - this is authorized when the district cannot provide a substitute for a regular teacher who is absent for illness, personal necessity, bereavement, must leave the school because of illness or emergency, or is on district authorized business providing a paid coverage. If a substitute arrives 25 minutes late or half way through the assigned period, the covering teacher has the option to remain in the classroom the rest of the period for pay or release the class to the substitute. In this case, the covering teacher will not receive pay.
2. UNPAID ASSIGNMENT - this involves coverage for a regular teacher who is away on school business or an athletic event. Field trips are covered within the department.
Assignments are made on a rotational basis distributing paid and unpaid coverages each period. Some teachers may wish to volunteer for frequent paid assignments out of rotation. If this is the case, please notify Mrs. Lovett, the Administrative Assistant, who will see that you are offered this opportunity for extra pay first.
During religious holidays, special occasions or emergencies all personnel will be called upon to cover classes or combine classes. All non-register carrying teachers who do not have specific classroom assignments will be asked to cover in an emergency "on call" situation.
REQUEST FOR PARTIAL- DAY ABSENCE/COVERAGE
Request for partial day absence/coverage puts an additional burden on faculty members who have to cover classes. Also, we must cover for athletic events, Harrison Field Trips, District meetings, and District staff Development meetings, etc.
