We have a sign in and sign out process. You are to sign in and out each day in the main office. There will be a sign-in/out book located in the main office.   This is an official document and is used to report your time.

​

How do I take student Attendance?

Our students attendance is recorded in Aspen. In order to have access to Aspen you must attend the Aspen training. If you have not done so, please contact Ms. Minor to help set up your Aspen training.

What is my lunch like?

This year teachers will have a 45-minute. lunch break. During this time, teachers may eat in the teacher's lounge located on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The teacher's lounge is equipped with a refrigerator and microwave for adult use only. Teachers are allowed to eat in their classrooms. We ask that there is no food stored in the classroom and that all food and food products are properly discarded. If a teacher wants to leave for lunch they must sign out and back in the main office. Teachers must be back in time to report to their posts at the appointed time. Failure to do so will result in a consequence.

What can I eat?

Unfortunately, we are not surrounded by many food options. Some popular places to eat near here are Busboys and Poets, Mama’s Pizza, and Starbucks. Many of our staff members utilize food delivery options such as UberEats, GrubHub, and DoorDash
