Grades
T ater thanbook to enter grades bXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXeachers need to use the Infinite Campus grade book to enter grades no later than Thursday each week. Parents are able to view grades instantaneously, so please be diligent in maintaining accurate and timely records. You will also need to keep some form of a hard copy to be turned in at the end of the year. The red grade books are acceptable as a hard copy or you may choose to print copies from IC as you input grades. The office uses IC to verify student grades throughout the nine weeks. Please check with Mr. Sandidge, Mr. Schell or Mrs. Bernard if you would like assistance/training with using this component of IC.
Hall Passes
Students shall be permitted to leave the classroom sparingly. Please know it is perfectly acceptable to tell a student NO. If a student does leave your class, please be sure they have a hall pass. Students in the hallway without a hall pass will be asked to return to class. Students cannot be intellectually engaged when they are not in the classroom.
Friday Meetings/Early Release
These meetings will be planned out (example: technology) as well as departmental planning/scoring times. Departments will turn in reports from their PLC time.
Faculty Meetings
Monthly faculty meetings may be scheduled. Faculty meetings will include discussions on various topics with a focus on improving instruction. Meetings will be tentatively scheduled for the first Monday of each month. We will begin promptly at 3:10pm. If you miss a faculty meeting you will need to attend the following morning @ 7:00am in the conference room.

Janitorial Log
A labeled binder is located in the office for staff to communicate with custodians. Please write needs or comments in this binder. Custodians will check this log daily to complete any needed tasks. Positive comments or suggestions can also go in this binder.

SBDM Council
Our SBDM Council will meet at 3:30pm on the third Tuesday of every month in the LCHS conference room. The teacher members of the council are Paul Childress and Justin Craft. The parent members are Rebecca Higdon and David Owens.
Teacher Dress
We require staff to dress in a professional manner. Dress code violations will be discussed privately when these issues arise. Occasionally Fridays may be “Dress-Down” (this means jeans & LCHS shirts are permissible). Dress down Fridays will be at the discretion of the principal.
Sub Caller
Ronald Whitlock will be calling subs for LCPS. Call 358-4747 for a sub. You will need to contact Mr. Whitlock if you are going to be out for sick days, personal days, conference days etc…. Robin will still be needing folks to fill out paperwork i.e. leave affidavits, PO for conferences. If you know in advance about the absence, please let Robin know too.
Walkthroughs
Walkthroughs will be conducted in classrooms weekly. Feedback will be given with completed documents via e-mail. Please print these e-mails and place them in the feedback section of your data notebook. You will receive a copy (email) that will show you the template that will be used. It will be similar to the one used last year.
Athletic Failures
Teachers are responsible for turning in to Mr. Dawson (via e-mail), the names of students involved in interscholastic athletics who are failing their class for the term. The list of failures must be turned in every Friday morning. Mr. Dawson will provide a roster for each particular sport to every staff member. IC may be used for this purpose as well.
Field Trips
Field trip information is located in this handbook. You can print from this document for your field trips. Please make sure to completely fill out paper work and requests while planning the field trip. A manifest of each student and a valid emergency contact number must be provided to the driver prior to the bus leaving campus. No exceptions get this done before you leave.
Teacher Arrival/Departure
Teachers are expected to be at school no later than 7:35 am each morning if they are not on duty. If you are on duty you should be at your assigned area no later than 7:20am. In the afternoons staff should stay until buses have left the campus.
Mid-Terms & Finals
Teachers should turn in mid-terms and finals into Mr. Goodlett the week of exams. Electronic copies are preferred.
ACADEMIC TIME PLAN
Schedule
Week 1 -- English (Monday – Thursday)
Week 2 -- Science (Monday – Wednesday) Thursday Clubs
Week 3 -- Math (Monday – Thursday)
Week 4 -- Social Studies (Monday – Wednesday) Thursday Clubs
I will need Intervention names by Friday at NOON on the week prior to your Intervention week. I will pass out the cards to the students on Monday morning first period. When you assign a student to Interventions then they will be with you for three or four day depending on the core area.
If you are doing Interventions then we will have a Floating Teacher that will take your Academic Time Class back to their classroom while you conduct Interventions in your room.
Our Floating Teachers are Mr. Venegas, Mr. Silva, Mr. Lindsey, Ms. Hardin, Ms. Hanna, and Mr. Allen. I will assign one of these teachers to each teacher in a core area. Each Floating Teacher will also cover a Club Sponsors class on the two Thursdays we do clubs each month.
Academic Time Teachers: I would have a set schedule that I would follow each week so that you and the students will have structure during this time. Feel free to have your own schedule but here are a couple examples you could go by. Use this time to enrich your student’s education and do some fun things that are also educational.
Example: Elective teacher -- Monday: Current Event Article from a website on computer
Tuesday: Read Library Book
Wednesday : Enrichment Activity from elective area
Thursday: Study Time
Core Teacher -- Monday: Enrichment activity from core area
Tuesday: Current event article
Wednesday: Enrichment activity from core area
Thursday: Study Time
