Please use the new recording sheet for breakfast and lunch starting today. If you started yesterday, that is fine. The expectation is that all teachers begin today and have this sheet turned into the office no later than 8:40 a.m.
Do this first thing when you get to class, some of you may decide to build this into your breakfast routine. Some of you have established routines in the classroom. Either way is fine, but it is very important to have these into Daniela by 8:40.
Why?
Daniela has to make phone calls home for every student who is absent, if their parents have not already notified us of the absence. Depending on the day, this can be quite time consuming.
The reason we do this is to be sure that all kids are accounted for everyday. This is district policy, every school is required to make these phone calls.
In the past the expectation was to have these in by 9:15, some consistently are turned in later than that. This means that phone calls home are pushed back sometimes to after 10:00a.m.
This is a matter of safety. If a child is expected to board the bus at 7:45, and for some reason does not, if we do not figure out that the student has gone missing until 10:00, that is over two hours during which the child is unaccounted for.
We have to speed this up. Please get those attendance/lunch count forms in by 8:40.
Thanks,
