Optional Teacher Workday

Hello Staff,

Wednesday is an optional workday for WS/FCS employees. This means that most employees are expected to come to work as if the day was a professional day. The professional day on March 29 is now a student day.

Bus drivers and monitors, crossing guards and hourly food-service workers do not come to work on an optional workday. They will be expected to work on March 29.

All other employees are expected to report to work. Employees may choose to take an annual leave day if they wish. If you have questions about whether you are expected to work, please ask your supervisor or read AR 4151.7 on our Web site.

Here are your options:

1. You can come to work. The workday is flexible. As long as you work 7 hours and 45 minutes if you are certified and 8 hours if you are classified. Many will work from 8-4.
2. You can take annual leave. If you do, you must call subfinder. (if you have one).
3. You may use hour passes up to 8 if you have them. If you are using the hour passes, you must email me that you are using them and what the hour passes say(math night, musical, etc,)
4. Take a day without pay. Need to indicate that on sub finder as well.
5. Classified-you can use comp time if you have it. Some of you have a couple of hours which you may use to come in late. If you have less than 4 hours, you cannot take an entire half-day. If you have between 4 and 8 hours, you can takeca half day, but not the whole day. Place the accurate time(sign-in and sign-out) on your time sheet.

Please make sure if you are at school, you sign in. If not, and you do not do any of the above options, you will receive a day without pay.

Please be safe as you make your way to work. Many of the sidewalks around the school are still slick. Our custodial crew has done a great job clearing what they could.

I will be heading to school around 6:30 am if the conditions permit if you would like to call. I will also be available until 8 pm tonight either through email or phone with any additional questions or additions that need to be added to this email.

See you tomorrow!
