FACULTY ABSENCE
Call Central Office Absence Line (874-0250) from 6:00 -8:00 am or 4:00 - 9:30 pm. Between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm at Central office.
When a teacher is going to be absent from duty because of unavoidable causes on a particular day, call with the following information:
Your Name ______________________
Home Phone _____________________
Date & Time _____________________
School(s) where you teach ___________________
Grade/ Subject ___________________
Reason for absence ____________________
*Length of absence if known ______________________
* Reasons (Personal absence, Family illness, Personal day, Professional Meeting, RLE)
Earlier notification, such as the day or evening prior to the absence would be appreciated.
When reporting the reason for absence, please be specific using one of the five reasons listed above. This information will be sent to the Treasurer's office each day.
Being brief will allow Anne to work on getting your sub right away.
If you reach the tape recording when you call, it would be helpful to have this information in front of you so that all necessary information is included in you message.
If, for any reason, you are unable to reach Anne or the tape, please call your Principal.
If you feel special instructions are necessary, ask that your sub call you.
Each building will be called in the morning with the name of the teacher who will be absent and the name of the sub. If you know you are going to be absent a subsequent day, please call Anne in the Central Office by 2:00 pm and she will try to retain you sub.
If you are going to be absent but do not require a sub, it is necessary to call anyway to report your absence for payroll purposes.
Any problems with a sub should be discussed with your principal.
SICK LEAVE
When the teacher returns to duty, an application for use of Sick Leave (see appendix 2) should be in his/her mailbox. Please fill this form in completely and return it to the school secretary. If a form is not found when returning to school the teacher must ask for one to avoid the mistaken deduction of a days wages for the absence that should have been charged to sick leave.
PERSONAL LEAVE
Personal absence to attend to personal business that can not be attended to other than on school time may be requested. Applications for Personal Leave (see appendix 3) are available in the office and must be filed at least 24 hours in advance of the absence.
PROFESSIONAL MEETING
A valuable in-service tool is for faculty to attend various professional meeting, participate in North Central Evaluations of other schools, or visit exemplary programs at other schools. This may be done by completing a Request for Permission to Attend Professional Meeting form (see appendix 4) and having it approved. These forms are available in the office.
