SCHOOL DAY
The school day consists of the schedule of class instruction and class activities as established and sponsored by the school district. Time during which school is dismissed for tournaments or contests, parent/teacher conferences, funerals, parades and school picnics may not be counted as part of the student's instructional time. The minimum school day shall meet the requirements as established for the operation of accredited schools.
The district may occasionally schedule a school day for less than the standard minimum number of hours due to the scheduling of staff development opportunities, parent-teacher conferences or special events occupying a portion of the day. Schedule revisions and changes in time allotments will be made by the superintendent.
Each member of the staff is expected to be on duty before and after regular school hours to plan, to meet with students, and to carry out individual professional responsibilities. The staff, on occasions, may be asked to work beyond (before or after) the normal school day to attend staff meetings, hold conferences with students or parents, or to assist in school activities.
Staff members who will miss school to attend or sponsor an activity must have all planning done for the substitute teacher. Class assignments shall be meaningful lessons and work for the students who remain in school.
