IMPORTANT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES Staff is encouraged to read the Employee Handbook to understand their rights and responsibilities. The following are other performance guides that are consolidated here for easy access. They represent an effort to clarify responsibilities around often-asked questions not specifically covered in the Employee Handbook or District Calendar. Take the time to read through them. You will find them helpful. 1. Attendance Reports

a. High School teachers are expected to report student absences to the office each period on Infinite Campus.

b. Middle School teachers are expected to report student absences both morning and afternoon and to record such absences in Infinite Campus.

c. Elementary teachers are expected to report student absences both morning and afternoon and to record such absences in Infinite Campus.

d. Attendance registers, class record books and office records on attendance are subject to audit by the Department of Public Instruction.

2. Classroom Problems - Problems and concerns arising from the classroom or the school

should be referred by the staff member to the building principal. Proper channels of communication are outlined in Policy #443.0, Classroom Code of Conduct.

3. Classroom Housekeeping - Teachers are responsible for the general upkeep and order of

their classrooms. 4. Problem Solving through Response to Intervention and Referrals - The goal of the Mount

Horeb Area School District is to provide timely and appropriate interventions to students that struggle academically or behaviorally. We follow a three tier Response to Intervention process. Each building will have an intervention process implemented. It is typical that 95% or more students will have their needs met using universal or targeted interventions. The remaining students may need intensive interventions.

Problem Solving Team meetings are held to identify specific concerns, set goals and

determine appropriate interventions for students that are struggling significantly. Student progress will be monitored at set intervals. At times this is not sufficient and a special education referral may be initiated to determine if the student has a disability. Interventions will continue during the evaluation period. The District follows all special education referral and placement procedures as outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and by the state’s Department of Public Instruction. At no time shall any student concern be referred to an out-of-district service provider without prior approval of the superintendent or his/her designee.

5. Staff Meetings - All professional staff members will meet and work, as necessary, under

the direction of their building principal. Teachers will reserve Wednesdays and the second Monday of each month for staff meetings, district meetings and teacher directed work time. These meetings will last no later than 4:45 p.m.

6. Materials and Supplies - Teachers desiring materials or supplies should present requests

to their principal. The board will not assume responsibility for financial obligations

- 13 -

except those obligations incurred according to approved procedures. Coaches and advisors desiring athletic materials or supplies are expected to work through the Assistant Principal in Charge of Co-Curricular Activities.

7. Scheduling Events - Before an event is scheduled, clear the date and the activity with

your building principal and Assistant Principal in Charge of Co-Curricular Activities at least two weeks in advance. In order to promote family and community relationships, try to avoid scheduling events or activities on Wednesday nights. All Wednesday night activities must be approved by either the Assistant Principal in Charge of Co-Curricular Activities or the Superintendent.

8. Homecoming - All building principals shall make arrangements for the students to

observe the Homecoming Parade. 9. Volunteer Programs - Teachers are encouraged to use volunteers in their classrooms.

(See Board Policy #353.1 for further guidelines). 10. Emergencies Involving School Students - Each building has designated and trained

personnel to assist in handling medical emergencies. Please follow the procedures listed below in handling emergencies. a. Notify building principal or designated person in charge. b. Follow instructions given on First Aid Chart. c. Notify parents regardless of the extent of injury. d. If parents are not available, refer to emergency form for whom to contact. e. If indicated, have school office or designated individual notify emergency vehicle. f. The designated person should stay with injured or sick child at all times. g. Complete accident report as soon as possible after the incident.

11. Parent Conferences - At least 90% of the time allocated for parent conferences in Grades

K-8 is to be formally scheduled for conferences. The parent conference schedule is to be submitted to the building principal at least three school days in advance of the conferences. The intent of the parent conference time is to work directly with parents. Teachers are expected to fully schedule their parent conference allocated time. High School conferences are scheduled on a first come, first served basis.

12. School Phone Usage - The phones provided throughout the District are for school to

home and school business purposes. Personal long distance phone calls are not to be charged to school phones. Employees should use a personal phone credit card or make collect calls in cases of emergency.

13. New Program Ideas - Teachers interested in developing and/or proposing revised and/or

new programs and curriculum shall seek the approval of their building principal and/or Director of Instruction. New program proposals must be approved at each building by the grade/department and principal prior to being submitted to the Superintendent for further consideration.

14. State Tournament

a. Head coaches may attend the WIAA Tournament game for their sport (maximum 2 days).

- 14 -

b. One assistant coach may also go each year. This coach can be a High School or a Middle School coach. The coaching staff, directed by the head coach, will make the decision as to which assistant can attend.

c. Other tickets can be purchased for assistant coaches to attend the tournament on non-school days.

15. K-12 Testing Program - The Director of Instruction is responsible for coordination of the

K-12 participation in the state testing program. The school psychologist coordinates the pre-school screening program for children entering Kindergarten as well as providing psychological services PK-12.

16. Test Program - The School Guidance Counselors are responsible for working with the

Director of Instruction to coordinate the testing program in their building. 17. After School Closing - Teachers/coaches who are in charge of students after school hours

will remain with them and see that they are gone from the building before leaving the building. Students in the building after school hours must be under the supervision of the teacher requesting them to be there. There are to be no unsupervised students in the building.

18. Social Events/Motorized Vehicles - Social events that involve the use of automobiles,

tractors, sleighs or similar equipment will not be approved. 19. Activities After Regular Scheduled School Year - No school events of a social nature

such as picnics, parties, etc. shall be scheduled outside of the regularly scheduled school year for students unless approved by the Superintendent.

20. Student Teaching Program - No cooperating teacher will leave the student teacher on

his/her own in the classroom for more than one (1) week without the permission of the building principal. See Policy #892.1.

21. Payroll Deductions - The District office assumes no responsibility for payroll and payroll

deduction errors when an employee fails to meet requested deadlines or provides inaccurate information.

22. Personal Liability - Personnel may subject themselves to personal liability by ignoring

good practice. This ranges from having students taking physical education after receiving a notice of restriction, to driving school-owned vehicles, to leaving students unsupervised, to inappropriate handling of student activity accounts. When you as an individual follow poor practices NO liability insurance covers you. Please examine your practices. If you have a question in this regard, discuss it with your building principal.

23. Staff Injuries - The District carries insurance covering employees who may be injured

while working. This insurance coverage is commonly known as Worker's Compensation.

The Worker's Compensation Law requires prompt reporting of job related injuries to insure coverage. Following proper procedure in reporting injuries on the job or in a job related activity during working hours is extremely important.

- 15 -

The following procedures should be followed:

a. ALL job injuries must be reported in writing to the District Office on the day the injury occurs. If you cannot report it immediately, do it as soon as possible.

b. ALL required reports will be filed by the District Office. This will require the

employee to report all the details of the injury.

c. In the event an injury prevents the employee from coming to the District Office to file a report on the day of the injury, the employee should call the District Office.

d. The Business Manager will help prepare required reports if needed.

Remember, the failure to follow these procedures could cause an employee to lose the benefits he/she is entitled.

24. Internet/Email Use. All staff should be aware of the acceptable use policies for staff (Policy #522.7) and student (Policy #363.3).

- 16 -

GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE RULES 1. Responsibilities of Following Policies - Teachers shall inform themselves about the

policies of the Board of Education and Administrative rules of the District and shall be responsible for observing and enforcing them. Policy Handbooks are available in every principal's office and every building LMC.

2. Conferences with the Superintendent - The Superintendent is available for conferences

with any staff member during "free periods", lunch, before school, or after school. Please schedule such a conference in advance.

3. Crisis Communication - In the event of a crisis, there shall be one spokesperson for the

School District and that spokesperson shall be the Superintendent, or in the Superintendent's absence the appointed designee for that duration of time (District Policy #724-Emergency Management).

17. Early Closings - When school is dismissed early on a regular school day due to inclement

weather, the dismissal time will be given to the schools by the Superintendent or his/her designee. In the event a decision is made allowing employees to go home, there shall be no school activities of any kind for the remainder of that day.

Delayed Openings - If school has a delayed opening due to inclement weather, teachers will adjust their schedule accordingly.

Students assigned to you during a specified time are your legal responsibility during the entire period. Teachers should not dismiss early, let students leave the room to pick up coats early, etc. This includes physical education classes.

20. Appliances - Appliances such as microwaves, refrigerators and coffee pots are a fire and

safety hazard and should only be kept in designated rooms within the building such as the cooking lab and staff lounges. These appliances are not allowed in your classroom. If you have any questions about whether or not a specific item can be in your classroom, please contact your building principal.

21. Transportation - The district will pay the approved annual mileage rate for use of your

Trips not approved in advance will not be reimbursed by the school district. Expense records shall have receipts. Requests for reimbursement for expenses without receipts will not be honored.

Teachers should confer with the office before transporting students to determine if there is proper insurance coverage for the trip. Teachers could be personally liable in case of an accident. All trips must be authorized. Obtain an authorization slip for travel from the office, in advance, when a school bus is involved.

Teachers are responsible to see to it that students under their supervision do not travel to the various activities in other than school approved transportation. When students are taken on a supervised trip, they are expected to return by the same method unless, in advance, the parent has specifically requested otherwise. This should be in writing or in a direct conversation with the parent.

- 19 -

Although the school provides insurance, it is advisable for a teacher to check his/her own insurance policies and make provisions for some additional personal insurance if there will be student transportation related to the job.

Before transporting students in a personal vehicle, teachers should obtain and complete an alternative vehicle insurance form from the school office and return it to the District office for approval.

The District's Transportation Coordinator makes all decisions relative to the transportation program except the early dismissal and/or closing of schools for inclement weather.

The assignment of drivers, the arrangement of buses, discipline, complaints, etc. will be handled through the office of the Transportation Coordinator. He/she may be reached at the Bus Garage after 9:00 a.m.

The principal, in consultation with the Superintendent will make the approval of field trips and other activities requiring transportation when necessary. The Transportation Coordinator will handle the transportation arrangements.

Teachers taking groups to activities involving the use of buses must accompany and supervise these students on the buses.

When a teacher is assigned supervisor duties on co-curricular bus trips, please follow the procedures below:

a. Obtain a transportation authorization from the office. b. Obtain a list of the students who are assigned to your bus. c. Obtain a bus schedule of departure time, etc., from the office. d. Ensure that students ride the bus to and from the event in their assigned bus. The

only exception is when parents authorize you to allow their child(ren) to ride home with someone else. This authorization must be in writing, a phone call with the parent, or through a verbal conversation with the parent. REMEMBER...YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE.

e. Ensure that there will be no smoking by any student while on these trips. f. Be responsible for maintaining satisfactory discipline of students during the entire

time of the trip, and while the students are on and off the bus. g. Make sure that any parent chaperon accompanying such a trip is fully aware of

his/her responsibilities before, during, and after the trip. h. Teachers shall not leave the building until all students have left the school site.
