Providing a Healthy and Safe Environment

• Teacher’s responsibilities1. Always check the area upon arrival for

health and safety hazards.

2. Report all accidents to the teacher and make a written report for the parent.

3. Be responsible for the items you use such as: scissors, hot glue, knives and cleaners.

4. Wash hands after using the restroom, before preparing food and after using cleaners.

Arrival and Departure

• 1. Children arrive and depart with parent or designated adult. Every car should have a window sign with the child’s name on it.

• 2. Every child must leave the room with an adult, this includes walking to the playground, the gym and other areas in the building.

• A teacher should stand outside the bathroom door while children are in the restroom.

• If a child needs help with toileting needs, there should be two teachers present.

PICKING UP AFTER YOURSELF!

I daily clean and organize the supplies that I use. If something of mine is found, I understand that points will be deducted from my lab grade. It is not only the

housekeepers job, nor Mrs. Sims or Mrs. Shelnutt.
