Time
All staff should report by 7:15am and leave at 3:15pm. All staff is required to sign in each morning
on TimeKeeper, pick up mail, and be in classrooms ready for students to enter at 7:20am. Teachers
will also be required to stay daily until all professional obligations are complete.
Tuesdays will be a designated school meeting time, so please do not plan doctor or dentist
appointments on those days. Faculty meetings will occur on the first and third Tuesday of each
month. Please plan to be in these meetings until 4:30 p.m.
All staff must sign out at the end of the day as well. Teacher assistants may not go over 40 hours a
week, so please monitor your time accordingly.
Unless there is an emergency or staff development, approved by one of the administrators, all staff
must remain on campus during the entire school day including early release days. Faculty who
must leave campus during the school day must: 1.Secure permission from an administrator, 2. Sign
out on the sheet outside of Mrs. Wroblewski’s office, 3. Sign back in upon returning to campus.
On workdays, with no students, the staff hours for the building are 8am-4pm with one hour for
lunch. Children of staff members should not be in the school building during workdays. Certified
staff may not leave campus for lunch on early release days.
Staff Appearance
We are the only role model that some of our students have for appropriate dress. All staff members
must be professionally dressed at all times. Many of these rules are student rules as well and so we
need to exemplify appropriate dress.
Midriffs, cleavage, and shoulders must be covered (no tank, low-cut or crop tops).
Clothing should not be too tight.
All shirts should be tucked in if they fall to the bottom of the zipper.
All dress shorts, skirts, skorts, dresses and splits that touch the top of the knee are allowed.
No sweatpants, cut-off shorts, or exercise pants.
Due to safety issues flip-flops are not permitted.
All writing or designs on clothing must be appropriate for a school setting.
Sunglasses may be worn during outdoor supervision.
Classroom Appearance
Please keep the classrooms in a condition that is inviting and conducive to learning. Our rooms
should match our passion for our students’ education.
Before leaving your classroom at the end of the workday please be sure that:
3
Instructional materials are organized for the next school day.
Plans are complete and on your desk.
The room is neat and teacher / TA areas are clutter-free.
Floors and countertops are clean and clutter-free.
The agenda for the next day is written on the board.
All windows, window blinds, and outside doors are closed and/or locked.
Lights, fans, and computer are off.
All technology should be shut down daily.
Lights should be left off when not in the room throughout the day.
These are good practices for safety, energy conservation, and in case you are unintentionally absent
the next day.
Lesson Plans
Lesson plans must be placed on the teacher desk and open so that during observations and
walkthroughs the plans can be reviewed. Occasionally a few of you will be asked to hand in a copy of
your lesson plans at the end of the week. This process will be used as a way of providing more
detailed feedback in planning.
Emergency Lesson Plans
Each teacher is responsible for providing five days of emergency lesson plans. Your plans should
have attendance rosters, daily information such as lunch and recess, and any other information that
is vital to a successful school day in your absence.
Leave
Sick Leave
If you are out sick more than three consecutive days a doctor’s note will need to be provided to an
administrator each time.
Parental Involvement Leave
As specified in state statutes, employees of the Alamance-Burlington School System will be provided
the opportunity to participate in their own children’s school activities for a period not to exceed four
(4) hours annually. Prior approval by the principal or immediate supervisor is required. This benefit
may not be carried forward to the next school year and is nontransferable.
Personal Leave
All personal leave taken must be pre-approved by an administrator.
Classified staff: All comp. time earned must be pre-approved by an administrator.
4
Use of AESOP System to record all absences
All faculty and staff are required to record all absences for any reason--including sick leave, annual
leave, personal leave, and staff development--into the AESOP system via phone or computer. All
absences should be recorded as far in advance as possible and administrators should be notified.
On days when you must take leave at the last minute, faculty should record absences on AESOP
and notify the front office AND one or both administrators. As a courtesy, teacher assistants
should notify classroom teachers directly.
Any questions about using the AESOP system can be directed to Ms. Rushin.
Cellular and Classroom Phones
Staff cellular phones may only be placed in vibrate or silent mode during working hours. Cellular
phones are to remain concealed during student instruction, active student supervision, or staff
development unless there is an immediate professional emergency. Employees may use their
cellular phones for personal calls during scheduled breaks or with administrative approval.
Classroom phones may only be used for professional calls during the school day. Long distance calls
should be made with the assistance of a secretary and logged properly. Personal calls are allowed if
made during planning periods and kept to 5 minutes in duration.
Facebook
If you have a social networking page (including Facebook), you should refrain from accessing it while
at school, either on your personal phone or school computer.
Phone Messages
All phone messages will be placed in mailboxes unless the caller identifies it as an emergency
situation. If an emergency or important call is expected, notify the office in writing in advance so
they respond accordingly.
Student Phone Usage
Students are not to use the phone unless it is an emergency and a staff member is with the student
when the call is made. Homework papers, projects, notes and items forgotten at home do not
constitute an emergency situation. If you do decide to send students to the office to call home, they
must have an initialed note from you giving permission for them to use the phone.
5
Homework Policy
Students in K-1 should have no more than 15-20 minutes of homework per day. The students in
grades 2-3 should have no more than 20-35 minutes per day. Students in grades 4 and 5 should
have no more than 60 minutes, special projects excluded. Please be considerate regarding this. Our
30-minute home reading initiative does not apply to the homework assigned by the teacher.
Homework is for reinforcement of a skill that has been taught in school. It is not to be used as “busy
work”.
License Renewal
To maintain valid credentials, a licensed employee must engage in an ongoing program of
professional development. It is the responsibility of the employee to ensure that his/her license is
current.
Committees
All licensed personnel will serve on at least one committee.
All faculty and staff are required to serve on one other committee scheduled to meet at least once
quarterly
Duties
All staff members can be expected to perform non-instructional duties by helping with morning
and afternoon buses, morning and afternoon car duty, or hallway supervision. Ms. Wroblewski
will hand out schedules for duty and both administrators will both actively monitor to ensure that
everyone is doing their part.
Teachers need to be in the hallways at their doors greeting students and monitoring hallway
behavior.
Discipline
A fair and consistent approach to helping students modify their behavior, coupled with real
consequences, needs to be practiced by all staff members. It is important to recognize that all
staff members are responsible for the behavior of all students.
The PBIS committee will provided guidance to faculty, staff and administrators about classroom
expectations, school-wide expectations, and when to make an office referral. Use the office
referral form that is on the form shelf in the front office.
6
Harassment/Bullying
It is the priority of the Alamance-Burlington School System to provide every student and
employee in the school system with a safe and orderly learning and working environment. To
this end, the Board specifically prohibits bullying and harassing behavior as defined below. If a
staff member witnesses bullying or harassment in any form, please notify an administrator
immediately.
Please refer to ABSS School Board Policies 5125, 4220, and 5130 for more detailed information
regarding this.
This is the website: http://meetings.abss.k12.nc.us:8888/mediawiki/index.php/Board_Policies_-_Table_of_Contents
Weekly Progress/ Discipline Notes
Every classroom teacher should plan to send home a weekly progress/discipline note and any
other important information. We need to have a culture of communication with parents and
setting up a weekly communication tool that is consistent in the school is important. Use the
student agenda and take-home folders to communicate with your parents daily.
Grade levels are also required to send a monthly newsletter to inform parents about what is
being covered in class, dates coming up, how parents can help, and other information that is
important. This newsletter should go out the last Thursday of the month for the following
month. Do not wait until the last minute for translations of the newsletter into Spanish. A copy
of all monthly newsletters should be sent to the assistant principal for review prior to sending
home to parents at least 24 hours in advance.
If your grade level would like to send home a newsletter more frequently please feel free to do
so, the monthly newsletter is merely a minimum. If specials teachers or other staff have
information for the newsletter please submit it to the grade level chair one week in advance to
ensure it is included and translated.
Websites:
All certified staff must have a webpage, and they should be updated monthly at a minimum.
Remember: Parents love to hear and see positive notes. They appreciate being kept informed of
their child’s progress.
Field Trips
Procedures:
All field trips must have an academic focus and be directly linked to curriculum objectives.
Requests for field trips must be submitted, using the REQUEST FOR FIELD TRIP FORM in the back
of this handbook, to the assistant principal at least four weeks in advance for all field trips. All
field trips planned for the entire school year must be submitted and scheduled by November 1st.
7
No overnight trips are allowed and all trips must be within 150 miles of our school. All out-ofcounty trips must be approved 90 days in advance by the ABSS Board of Education.
A district—approved field trip form must be submitted with the trip request. The assistant
principal will review and help price the trip and provide the information directly to the grade level
team for review and action. All contracts involved must be approved by the principal and
assistant principal at the time of the request.
Students in Grades 3-5 will not be able to go on field trips after the second intercession that
begins on March 19th. Students in Grades K-2 may be scheduled for field trips through May 31;
however, field trips scheduled on EOG testing days will not be approved.
Planning and Budgeting:
The Field Trip Request Form asks for exact pricing and the grade level’s plan for fundraising.
More expensive trips will involve more planning and oversight and regular checking in with
administrators to ensure that the plan is being followed and that money is coming in. If sufficient
funds are not raised within 2-5 days of a planned field trip, administrators may have to cancel the
field trip since there is no budget available to cover shortfalls. Think about planning early so that
payment plans can be developed to ensure sufficient funds are raised to cover all trip costs
including funding for students who are unable to pay.
When planning field trips, please consider the cost. The cost of a field trip should not be a
burden or hardship on families.
Please notify Ms. Rushin well in advance of all checks that will be needed to avoid any last
minute complications.
Notifying the Cafeteria:
You must notify the cafeteria two weeks before every field trip about lunch and breakfast needs
or changes that will be required.
Permission Forms:
Permission forms must be sent out at least 10 days in advance of all field trips using the field trip
form. The assistant principal will fill out and copy permission forms for you to send out for all
trips. Please note that refunds of student payments will not be given within 5 working days of
field trips, and this information is communicated directly to families on the permission forms. All
refund requests, regardless of timing, must be submitted directly to administrators for approval
before refund requests are granted.
Connect Ed Communication Requirements:
For every field trip, a Connect Ed message must be sent to families notifying them of the field trip
around the time the permission form is sent out. A second message must be sent within 2-3 days
of the trip with all final reminders. For expensive trips, it is recommended that you send regular
Connect Ed messages home to keep families apprised of trip plans and funding status.
8
Handling Medication During Field Trips:
If a student needs medication during a field trip, the student’s teacher must contact the school
nurse at least 14 days in advance of the trip so that the nurse can prepare a log and a bag for
medication to be taken on the trip. Sufficient notice is needed especially for students who
receive medications at home because the school nurse will need time to obtain an order, the
medication, and get everything in place.
Field trip medication logs are required to be kept in house for 25 years and our compliance with
regulation s is an absolute must.
Planning for Students Who Remain at School During a Field Trip:
Students who do not go on a field trip are still expected to be at school. Please make plans in
advance for students who are not going on the trip and make sure their names and locations are
included on the list provided to the office on the day of the field trip. The classroom teacher is
expected to provide meaningful grade-level work for students who remain at school with the
supervising teacher.
Field Trip Protocol on the Morning of the Trip:
On the mornings of field trips, there is always a lot to be done including recording attendance,
getting a list of students going on the trip to the office, and leaving contact phone numbers.
Please use the Field Trip Checklist on to ensure you follow procedures. The checklist should be
left with the front office before you leave on the trip. During field trips teachers should keep cell
phones on vibrate and check for messages often. It is required that a full roster of students and
contact phone numbers is taken on the trip and that a copy is left in the office. All medication
and information about its administration must be packaged carefully and taken on field trips
for students who need it. Any issues that may arise during trips should be reported to
administrators immediately.
Student Assistance Team (SAT)
If a student is struggling with academics, behavior, or attendance it is appropriate to prepare a
Personal Education Plan for that student to determine and document interventions that you
specifically are using to help that student. A parent conference is required at the end of each
quarter for all students with PEPs. If a student continues to struggle and needs more support or
testing, it is appropriate to make a referral to the Student Assistance Team. It is important to
move quickly on SAT referrals to ensure students in need get the support they deserve. Please
see Ms. Wroblewski or Ms. Sylvestre if you are considering a SAT referral to get a meeting
scheduled and make sure forms are filled in properly.
IEP’s/Modifications for E.C.
If you have an EC student, be sure that you have met with the EC Resource teachers to know
exactly what modifications you are to make for each child. Remember that an IEP is a legal
contract and you are responsible for being sure all aspects of this contract are being covered.
9
Copies of IEPs should be made available to classroom teachers and any other specialist working
directly with the child the first day of school. IEPs should be kept in a locked file at all times. IEPs
must be kept under lock and key at all times in classrooms.
EC Quarterly Monitoring Reports will be prepared by EC teachers with classroom teacher input
and sent home in the student report card envelope each quarter.
ESL SERVICES AND MODIFICATIONS FOR STUDENTS
Classroom teachers, ESL teachers, and administrators will be responsible for keeping up to date
information about the nature of student ESL support, test and classroom modifications on the CO
form provided for this purpose, and progress monitoring is required to occur at least once per
quarter for every student working with an ESL teacher in pullout or co-teaching.
ESL Quarterly Monitoring Reports will be prepared by ESL teachers with classroom teacher input
and sent home in the student report card envelope each quarter.
Cumulative Folders
Cumulative folders are to remain stored in locked file cabinets. Blank forms are also kept there.
Be sure that cumulative folders are kept up to date. Remember that each time a new student
enters your classroom, it is your responsibility to check the cumulative records for EC, ESL, or
Intervention (RTI or SAT) and contact relevant persons responsible for each area.
Student Injuries
Submitting Student Accident Forms
All student injuries must be completed on a computer and emailed to the data manager, school
nurse, and principal.
Before submitting the form, save the form in the following name format before emailing it: Last
name of student, First name, School, Month Year
Teachers need to complete the “Student Accident Form” for any child who has an accident and is
injured at school while in your charge. All serious accidents are reported to Central Office by the
principal. The forms are in the office. Parents should be contacted immediately, especially in the
case of a head injury. Minor first aid will be administered by the office staff before the child is
returned to the classroom. In cases where there may be a fracture or serious injury, the student
is not to be moved. Contact the office immediately for further directions.
Workers’ Compensation
In the event an employee is injured on the job performing assigned duties, workers’
compensation guidelines must be followed exactly. At all times, follow safe work practices to
10
avoid injuries, report all accidents and injuries to the principal immediately, provide the principal
with a written statement of injuries, follow procedures for obtaining medical treatment, follow
the treatment plan, and keep the principal informed of your injury status. Before seeking medical
attention, staff must check with the office. Claims need to be filed within a 72-hour period of the
injury.
Medications
No medication is to be kept in the classroom. A locked cabinet has been installed in the office
for securing medication. Be sure to bring all student medication, along with the signed
permission slip from parents, to the office for safekeeping and distribution. Students receiving
medication need to report to the office at their scheduled time and must have a responsible
partner or an adult with them. Classroom teachers are responsible for remembering to send
students to the office for all medications.
Home-School Relationship
Every teacher is expected to communicate appropriately and frequently with parents or
guardians with respect to the pupil’s progress or problems. Report cards go out each nine weeks;
interim reports should be sent mid-way through the grading period if a student’s grades are low
and you should follow up with a phone call if the signed interim report is not returned to you.
Head Lice / No Nit Policy
If a child is sent home for head lice, before he/she may return to class, a trained staff member
will check his/her head for lice and nits. No student will be allowed to stay in school if lice are
found in his/her hair. Please notify an administrator and the school nurse if more than one
student in a classroom has lice. (See ABSS policy in the Appendix.)
Child Abuse / Neglect
It is the legal responsibility of each staff member to report suspected child abuse and/or child
neglect to the Department of Social Services.
Before making a referral, please make every effort to discuss the situation with the school
counselor or social worker. If not, see the principal or assistant principal. At the end of the
handbook you will find the reporting form that you are to complete each time you suspect child
abuse. This form should be given to the school counselor at the time of the referral.
Class Parties
There should be no class parties; however parents can bring a light (store-bought) snack for the
students that can be shared with all the students during snack time.
11
Classroom Microwaves and Refrigerators
No microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, or appliances are allowed in classrooms, only in
workrooms (NO exceptions!). This request is per the insurance safety inspector.
Copying
Everyone will be assigned a code to use the copier and will have a limit on the number of copies
they can make during the school year. If you have questions about your quota, please see the
School Secretary. The copier is for school use only. The copy machines will also be used as your
printer so please plan accordingly.
Laminating
All laminating will be done by a laminating team at scheduled times. Teachers need to be
selective in items they laminate. The laminating film is very expensive and should be used on
materials that will receive much use and not just used for one time. Do not laminate just one
item at a time since there is at least a foot of film used at the end of the item. Try to utilize the
film most efficiently. By slightly trimming 8x11 construction paper, you can run two pieces at
once through the machine and not waste so much film.
Reminder: You are not to laminate children’s work that is going to be sent home or items that are
going to be put on a bulletin board and then discarded. Only teaching materials can be
laminated. Please turn off the laminator after every use to prevent odors or a possible fire.
Mailboxes
Each staff member is assigned a mailbox that is located outside the main office area. All
communications and correspondence will be placed in these mailboxes, including phone
messages. Materials to go home with students will also be placed there. Staff is reminded to
check their boxes at the beginning of the day, around noontime, and at the end of the day.
Recess
Students need physical exercise and movement during the school day, and recess meets these
needs. Structured activities should be a regular part of recess, and the teachers assume
responsibility for this type of supervision. Even during periods of free play, staff must position
themselves to monitor the movement and safety of all students. This means they must be
spread out around the playground area and fields, not grouped together. Since PE counts as
recess, recess is not to be scheduled on days on which your students attend PE class.
12
Teacher Assistants
Teacher assistants are provided by the state to allow teachers the opportunity to increase the
individual attention our students receive, provide supplemental instruction, and to assist with
classroom management. Please remember that these staff members are bound to 40 hours a
week and may not take work home unless approved by the principal.
Visitors
All visitors, including staff’s children and spouses, should report to the office and should receive a
Visitor’s Badge or sticker before coming into the school halls.
If you see someone in the hall without a badge/sticker or if a parent comes to your room, please
ask them to go to the office, sign in, and get a “Visitor’s Badge.” Also, you should notify the office
that an unauthorized person is in the building.
Remember that a child must be dismissed from the office. If a parent comes in your classroom,
send them to the office without the student and wait until the office calls the student for
dismissal.
Lunch Procedures
Every class has 25 minutes for lunch. Please be prompt coming to and leaving the cafeteria. Each
teacher will be responsible for setting an expectation that students clean up their own spills and
keep the area around their seat as clean as possible. At least two students should be appointed
to clean the tables thoroughly when the class has left their tables. Teachers or assistants should
stay with their class until everyone has gone through the line and should actively monitor
behavior during lunch.
All students who received free and reduced lunch last year will automatically receive it the first
30 days of school, but must then submit new forms. Kindergarten students with siblings on free
and reduced lunch will automatically receive free and reduced lunch for the first 30 days of
school before, but must then submit new forms. Other kindergarten students must submit
application forms for free and reduced lunch as soon as possible. Forms are mailed directly to
parents, but the office has extra copies. Please place completed forms in Ms. Stokes box in the
office.
Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco-Free
Haw River is a drug, alcohol, and tobacco-free campus. Any drugs or alcohol, paraphernalia, or
consumption affecting job performance will be dealt with immediately. Tobacco may not be
consumed on campus at any time, so please encourage your parents to follow our policy as well.
If any parent is not compliant after being requested to extinguish their cigar or cigarette please
see one of the administrators immediately.
13
Inclement Weather
In case of school cancellation or early dismissal due to inclement weather, it is important that all
staff members clearly understand their options related to whether or not to report to work.
In some situations the principal or supervisor may require specific employees to report to work.
In most cases, however, the choice is yours. The school system respects your right to make the
best decision for yourself. If you decide not to work, then you have several options available.
If School Is Dismissed Early teachers and other school-based employees may be dismissed by the
principal after all buses have departed and arrangements have been made for students who have
not been picked up.
If school opening is delayed all staff members are expected to report for work at the regularly
scheduled time. If an employee does not believe he or she can safely report at the regularly
scheduled time, he/she should notify the principal. The principal/ supervisor will give the staff
member an opportunity to make up the time.
If school is cancelled for students the day will be designated as either an annual leave day or a
workday, depending on the wording of the announcement (see below).
If the announcement reports the system is closed for students and teachers, then no teachers or
ten-month employees should report for work unless specifically requested. The day then
becomes one of the remaining ten scheduled annual leave days in the school calendar for
teachers and all ten-month employees.
If the announcement reports the system is closed for students with an optional or required
teacher workday, then one of the inclement weather options listed below must be selected by
teachers and all ten-month employees.
Options:
1. Report to work.
2. Take unscheduled annual leave. To exercise this option, the employee must have an
annual leave balance in excess of the number of designated annual leave days left in the
calendar.
3. Do not report for work, but arrange with the principal/supervisor to make up time.
4. Take personal leave (teachers only).
5. Take a day without pay.
Employees who work 10.5, 11, or 12 months (principals, assistant principals, central support,
maintenance, transportation and other designated personnel) shall report for work or choose
inclement weather options 2 or 5; use available comp time; or, schedule with the immediate
supervisor a time to make up the work prior to the end of the current school year.
Classified employees who choose to make up the time missed must do so in a work week
where the total time worked does not exceed forty hours. Comp time must be pre-approved by
14
an administrator.
Child nutrition employees do not report to work when students are not in school. Child nutrition
managers may exercise inclement weather options 1, 2, or 5.
On days when school is cancelled for students, employees who decide to work will be allowed to
report for work one hour later than normal reporting time. Those who report for work after that
time may be allowed to make up the time or take a half day of available leave.
:
If inclement weather occurs on a day already scheduled as an optional or required teacher
workday, no announcement will be made. All teachers and ten-month employees may select one
of the following inclement weather options: 1,2, 4 or 5.

15
Balloons and Flowers
Staff and students receiving balloons and/or floral arrangements will be called to the office to
pick them up during the 2:30 announcements.
Students receiving a bouquet of balloons and who normally ride the bus home will be asked to
call a parent to pick them up that day as the balloons cause safety problems on the bus.
FIRE DRILLS
According to the law, all schools must have monthly fire drills during the school year.
Each teacher should exit through the nearest door and go to assigned spots.
There are several points that need to be mentioned:
The fire alarm is an intermittent signal.
2)
Teachers should remember to close doors.
3)
Students need to quickly leave the classroom in a quiet, orderly, single-file line.
4)
Teachers need to lead their students and have a responsible person to be last.
5)
Teachers need to remember to carry their RED EMERGENCY BAG.
6)
Once outside at least 100 feet away from the building, teachers should count their
students. No students are to line up in front of the school because of the circular drive.
7)
Each teacher will send a “runner” to report in writing the number of students that are in
his/her charge at that time to a designated person.
8)
If you have students with other teachers, indicate this on your report.
9)
Resource teachers need to tell the number of students and identify the teacher.
10)
Teachers should wait for the “All Clear Bell” before reentering the building.
11)
Again, the students should enter the building quietly and orderly.
Lockdown
1. In the event of a lockdown please follow the following procedures.
2. Close and lock your doors.
3. If you see a student in the hall, please secure the student and inform the office who the
child is and from what class.
4. Lower and close all blinds.
5. Secure students away from the door and below window level.
6. Do not open the door until officially told over the intercom.
7. Make sure students remain still, calm, and quiet.
Place either a green or red card under the door and on an exterior window. A green card
represents that all is clear, and a red card represents an emergency and need for assistance.
16
If students are on the playground, the students will be escorted to the gym.
If the students are in the cafeteria, they will be escorted into the kitchen.
Please stay off your phone unless there is an emergency and you are contacting the office.


Classrooms or hallways may not be painted by individual teachers without the approval of
the principal. Paint colors will be chosen by the principal since room assignments change.
To prevent rodents in the buildings please do not store open food in the classroom.
Tupperware bins are great for storage that is air tight.
Staples are only allowed on bulletin boards and not on painted walls.
Packing tape or double stick tape may not be put on painted walls.
Basic trash should be put in rubbish cans and not left on the floor for custodians.
Workrooms and common areas must be left in a neat condition for the next user.
Sidewalk chalk may not be used under an overhang.
Lights should be turned off when you are not in the room.
Computers should be shut-down on a daily basis to conserve energy.
Microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee pots are only allowed in workrooms.
18
Facilities Work Requests
Any request for facilities work on campus must be submitted in writing to the principal. The
written request, if deemed appropriate, will be put into the maintenance website for their
approval.
Internet Acceptable Use Policy
The Alamance-Burlington Board of Education recognizes that electronic resources of all types are
becoming a vital part of an up-to-date education for our students whom we are preparing to
become technologically literate citizens. Because of this, the Board in general supports providing
access to these resources for our staff and students. Copies of the Internet Use Agreement are
available through the Technology Division.
The Board expects that the Internet and e-mail within the school system will be used for
educational purposes only and that staff will use the guidelines established by Board policy both
for their own professional use and to instruct students in the use of these resources. The Board
policies regarding the Selection and Reconsideration of Instructional Materials and Copyright
should be followed when utilizing Internet access and e-mail throughout the district.
Students who wish to have access to the Internet must sign the Internet Use Agreement and
must submit a permission form signed both by the students and a parent/legal guardian in which
they agree that the student will adhere to all guidelines and be responsible for his/her own
actions. Staff members will instruct students in the correct use of these resources, and students
will read and understand the district guidelines. The ultimate responsibility for a student’s actions
in using the Internet and email rests with the student and his/her parent/legal guardian. Students
who do not adhere to the guidelines set forth by the district will have their email and Internet
privileges revoked and may be subject to other disciplinary measures.
Videos
No videos may be shown without written permission from an administrator. The only exception
to this policy is for videos found in the school media center that have already been approved for
instructional use. Staff wishing to show a video need to fill out a request form and submit an
administrator at least two days in advance of the viewing date. Only videos rated “G” will be
considered. There also needs to be an instructional tie-in for all videos shown, even if they are
part of a reward or incentive program.
Bulletin Boards and Cork Strips
Work should be changed monthly and should include a brief description of the assignment and
objective covered. These should be interactive and aligned with the curriculum. Please write
your board description in the office board so that teachers can bring students to. These boards
and strips are not meant for merely purchased posters and banners. It would also be most
helpful for all staples to be removed from the boards when you are changing them to help the
19
next person who follows. No staples or tape allowed on any of the walls in the classroom or
hallways.
Bulletin boards in your classroom need to be changed regularly as well.
Funds
It is important that school employees follow sound procedures to ensure quality cash
management. If you need additional information, please consult with your school treasurer or the
finance officer.
Proper Procedures for Receiving Funds
All moneys for the school system received or collected by an employee become funds of the
system and are to be receipted either by using a receipt book or list receipt.
All funds must be turned in to the school treasurer daily no matter how small the amount.
Always record the information completely on each receipt: (1) Date receipted; (2) Name of
person from whom funds were received; (3) Purpose for which funds were received; (4) Amount
of the receipt and (5) Signature of the person receiving the money.
All receipts should be written to a person’s name and not to a club, group, etc.
All receipt books or list receipts should be kept in a safe place. The forms should not be left in an
unlocked desk drawer or file cabinet. If lost or stolen, regardless of how much is receipted in the
book, the internal control over cash receipts for the school is adversely affected and the school’s
audit report will reflect this.
When a receipt book is issued to a school employee, it is the employee’s responsibility if the book
is lost or mishandled. The receipt book should be as important to you as your own checkbook.
Under no circumstances should a student be allowed to write receipts in an employee’s receipt
book.
Only the sponsor or advisor of clubs, etc. should issue receipts.
All money received should be given to the school treasurer daily. No checks, personal or
otherwise, should be cashed, nor invoices paid, from un-deposited receipts.
Quality Steps in Handling Funds
An employee should never accept money if he/she is unable to write a receipt immediately.
Do not accept checks written to “you” (the employee) which are for school funds. All checks
and/or money orders are to be written to the individual school or school system.
20
Always get a purchase order or approval by the principal and school treasurer before purchasing
items obligating school funds.
An employee should work with the school treasurer on all purchases. An employee should avoid
using his/her own funds when purchasing items for the school or school system.
Immediately turn in all invoices upon receipt.
Grievance Procedure for Employees
It is the policy of the Board to practice reasonable and effective means of resolving difficulties
which may arise among employees, to reduce potential areas of grievance, and to establish and
maintain recognized channels of communication between staff and administration. The Board,
therefore, has adopted grievance procedure as a means to examine and resolve possible
problems which relate to the administration of personnel policies of the school district. This
information can be found in ABSS School Board Policies.
Copyright Policy
It is a principle of American law that an author of a work may reap the fruits of his or her
intellectual creativity for a limited period of time. Copyright is a form of protection provided by
the laws of the United States for "original works of authorship" including literary, dramatic,
musical, architectural, cartographic, choreographic, pantomimic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural,
and audiovisual creations. "Copyright" literally means the right to copy. The term has come to
mean that body of exclusive rights granted by statute to authors for protection of their work. The
owner of copyright has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and, in the case of certain
works, publicly perform or display the work; to prepare derivative works; or to license others to
engage in the same acts under specific terms and conditions.
One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize
others to reproduce the work in copies or phone records. This right is subject to certain
limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright act (title 17, U.S. Code). One of the
more important limitations is the doctrine of "fair use."
FAIR USE DEFINED
Statutory Factors for Determining Fair Use:
1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is
for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
21
3. amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
17 U.S.C. § 107
The distinction between "fair use" and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There
is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission.
Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining
permission.
The safest course is always to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted
material. When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be
avoided unless the doctrine of "fair use" would clearly apply to the situation. If there is any
doubt, it is advisable to consult an attorney.
GUIDELINES FOR FAIR USE
The following guidelines are derived from the Fair Use Doctrine. If in doubt, please refer to the
Statutory Factors for Determining Fair Use.
• The use must be for such purposes as teaching or scholarship and must be nonprofit
• Staff may make single copies of the following for use in research, instruction or preparation for
teaching: book chapters; articles from periodicals or newspapers; short stories, essays or poems;
and charts, graphs, diagrams, drawings, cartoons or pictures from books, periodicals, or
newspapers in accordance with these guidelines
• In most circumstances, copying the whole of a work cannot be considered fair use; copying a
small portion may be if guidelines are followed
• If resulting economic loss to the copyright holder can be shown, even making a single copy of
certain materials may be an infringement, and making multiple copies presents the danger of
greater penalties
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR PRINT MEDIA.
SINGLE COPIES
Examples of acceptable practices include:
• Copying a single copy of a chapter from a book
• Copying an article from a periodical or newspaper
• Copying a short story, short essay, or short poem, even if it is contained in a collection
• Copying a chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture from a book, periodical, or
newspaper
Examples of unacceptable practices include:
• Copying used to create, replace or substitute for anthologies, compilations, or collective works
• Copying from works intended to be "consumable" in the course of study or of teaching
including workbooks, exercises, standardized tests, test booklets, answer sheets, etc.
22
• Copying as a substitute for the purchase of books, publishers' reprints or periodicals
• Copying directed by a higher authority or repeated with respect to the same item by the same
teacher from term to term
MULTIPLE COPIES
Making multiple copies for classroom use is permissible if these three tests are met:
Brevity, Spontaneity and Cumulative Effect
Brevity: The amount copied must be evaluated relative to the length of the entire original and the
amount needed to meet the objective.
Spontaneity: The copying is at the instance and inspiration of the individual teacher, and the idea
and decision to use the work and the moment of its use for maximum teaching effectiveness are
so close in time that it would be unreasonable to expect a timely reply to a request for
permission.
Cumulative Effect: The assurance that copying is not substituting for purchase of books and
periodicals in order to protect original creator. The copying must be done for only one course.
Current news articles from newspapers and magazines are exempt from this requirement.
Examples of acceptable practices include:
• Copying up to 10% of a copyrighted work or 1000 words, whichever is less
• Copying two pages of a picture book as long as those two pages are not more than 10% of the
entire text of the book
• Copying an entire poem if less than 250 words
• Copying no more than 5 poems (or excerpts) of different poets, from an anthology
• Copying only 3 poems (or excerpts) per poet from an anthology
• Copying one chart, graph, drawing, cartoon, diagram, or picture may be copied per book or
periodical issue
Examples of unacceptable practices include (n.b. same rules apply to single and multiple copies):
• Copying more than one short poem, article, story, essay or two excerpts from the same author,
or more than three from the same collective work or periodical volume during one class term
• Copying more than nine instances of such multiple copies for one course during one class term
• Charging the student beyond the actual cost of the photocopying
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR GRAPHICS AND CONSUMABLE MATERIAL
The following examples are derived from the Fair Use Doctrine. If your particular situation is not
specifically addressed in the examples provided, always refer back to the Statutory Factors for
Determining Fair Use.
Examples of acceptable practices include:
• Using the opaque projector to enlarge original drawings by teachers
23
• Making classroom copies of a worksheet from a workbook that states that duplication rights
have been rendered to the owner/classroom teacher
Examples of unacceptable practices include:
• Using the opaque projector to enlarge copyrighted characters such as Disney, Peanuts, Blues
Clues, etc. without written permission
• Making classroom copies of a worksheet from a copyrighted workbook
• Tracing or freehand drawings of any copyrighted character
• Enlarging or modifying a copyrighted graphic/illustration in any way
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR MUSIC (PRINT AND NONPRINT)
The following examples are derived from the Fair Use Doctrine. If your particular situation is not
specifically addressed in the examples provided, always refer back to the Statutory Factors for
Determining Fair Use.
Examples of acceptable practices include:
• Making emergency copies when purchased copies have not arrived in time for a performance,
with the understanding that the emergency copies will be replaced with the purchased copies
• Copying one or more portions of works, for nonperformance classroom purposes, as long as the
copies do not constitute a "performable unit such as a section, movement, or aria"
• Making a single copy of recordings of performances by students to be used only for evaluation
or rehearsal
Examples of unacceptable practices include:
• Copying which substitutes for purchasing a collection, anthology, or collection of music
• Copying of "consumable materials such as workbooks, tests, or exercises"
• Copying with the intention of not purchasing music
• Copying more than one copy per pupil
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR PERFORMANCES
Ownership of sheet music or sound recordings does not grant performance rights. These must be
obtained from the copyright owner unless these exceptions apply:
• Instructional performances with face-to-face instruction in a classroom situation or similar
place devoted to instruction. 17 U.S.C. § 110(1).
• Instructional broadcasting of non-dramatic works as long as they are performed by a nonprofit
educational institution. 17 U.S.C. § 110(2).
• Certain non-profit performances as long as there is no direct commercial advantage including
no direct or indirect admission charge, no private financial gain, no proceeds after deducting the
reasonable costs of producing the performance. 17 U.S.C. § 110(4).
FILM AND VIDEO
According to federal guidelines approved in 1996 for multimedia in education, the following
24
criteria must be followed by teachers, staff and students: It makes no difference whether the
video is rented or marked for "home use only" if these four criteria are met.
• The performance must take place in a classroom or other place of instruction in a nonprofit
institution
• The performance must be directed by students or teachers of the institution
• The performance must be in the course of face-to-face teaching activities

• Admission for videos shown at school may not be charged
• Anthologies or collections may not be made from clips/excerpts
• The work may not be transferred to another medium such as video or DVD/disk.
• Videos may not be used as entertainment on school grounds or at a school sanctioned event
unless licensing has been purchased (e.g. after school daycare programs, fieldtrips on buses, etc.)

• Recordings may be made only at the request of individual teachers and may not be made in
anticipation of their use.
Exceptions:
• There are no fair use rights for subscription cable channels such as HBO, Disney, etc.
• Satellite broadcasts may only be taped with exclusive permission from copyright holder.
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR ELECTRONIC MEDIA
includes CD, DVD, presentation software, Internet, etc.
• Students and educators must include on the opening screen of their programs and on any
printed materials a statement to this effect:
"This presentation has been prepared under fair use exemption of
the U.S. Copyright Law and is restricted from further use."
• Students and educators must credit sources, giving full bibliographic information when
25
available.
• Students and educators follow same guidelines as for print materials for text, graphics and
illustrations.
• If using copyrighted music, up to 10% of a work, but no more than 30 seconds, may be used.
• If using copyrighted video or motion picture, up to 10% of work but no more than 3 minutes,
whichever is less may be used. Media may not be altered in any way.
• Students/educators may claim fair use providing presentations are
o used for face-to-face curriculum-based instruction
o used for demonstrations of how to create multimedia productions
o used for conference presentations, but may not be shared
o used for remote instructions so long as distribution signal is limited
o kept for only 2 years
• Presentations may not be used for commercial or marketable use.
• Students and educators must obtain permission to use Internet resources such as graphics, text,
animations, etc.

retain only one copy.
• Students may use portions of lawfully acquired copyrighted works in their academic multimedia
projects, with proper credit and citations. They may retain them in personal portfolios as
examples of their academic work.
• The author of an email owns the content of the email; therefore, the recipient should seek
permission to distribute or copy it.
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE
• Copyright law and the license agreement for computer software govern its uses.
• Purchasing software does not give one ownership, just the rights to use the software according
to the license agreement that is usually found in the documentation included with the software.
• One backup or archive copy of computer software may be made as long as it is not used unless
the original is destroyed. A copy or adaptation may be made if the copy is required for successful
operation of the program.
• Networking software ALWAYS requires a license. Get it in writing. There is no fair use in regards
to networking.
• Just because the technology exists to reproduce an item electronically, the user does NOT
26
always have the right to do so.
• Public domain software has been released by the authors to be used freely without any special
licensing.
• Shareware is copyrighted software that may be distributed or downloaded freely with the
expectation that the borrower will register it and pay a fee for the program if kept.
• Appropriate copyright warning stickers must be placed on any circulated software.
The following are unacceptable uses of computer software:
• Downloading, uploading, and making software available for downloading or transmitting
software files without the permission of the copyright owner.
• Purchasing a single-user copy of software and installing it on multiple machines or making
additional copies.
• Installing CD dependent programs on more than one computer.
• Sharing out a copyrighted CD or program from a server on a network.
n.b. To assure compliance with copyright laws, software may not be installed on district owned
computers, except by, or with permission of the Alamance-Burlington School System Technology
Department. Software licenses must be purchased by, or donated to the school district, which
will monitor copyright compliance in accordance with the above guidelines.
PENALTIES AND LIABILITY
Copyright violation fines may range from $750 to $30,000 per infringement. In 1992, the penalty
for piracy (computer software copyright infringement) was changed from civil to felony status
with fines up to $250,000. The willful infringement of a copyright is a crime and carries the
possibility of a large fine and imprisonment for up to five years.
School employees may be considered contributory violators if they help reproduce the illegal
copy/acts, or if they were in a position to control the copyrighted work. 17 U.S.C. § 511(a).
27
INTERNET, EMAIL, AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Best practice is to refrain from talking about students, staff, and events that occur at school on
social media sites.
Additionally, when communicating via ABSS email about specific students, please do not use the
student’s full name. We will identify students by first initial and last name for now. Please refrain
from including confidential information about any students.
ABSS School Board Policies:
5180 EMPLOYEE ACCEPTABLE USE
Electronic Communications and Use of the Internet
All employees must use the school system network when communicating electronically with
students in their roles as school system employees. Employees may not use personal web sites
or online networking profiles to post information in an attempt to communicate with students in
their roles as school system employees.
Given the open nature of the Internet, creating or maintaining a publicly-accessible website, blog,
or social networking profile is considered a form of communication accessible to students,
parents, and co-workers. Any posting or maintaining of content on a website, blog, or social
networking platform that adversely affects the employee’s ability to perform his or her job duties
may result in discipline, up to and including dismissal. Any direct electronic communications with
students, parents, supervisors, or co-workers – whether by email, instant messaging, or other
digital media – that adversely affects the employee’s ability to perform his or her job duties may
result in appropriate discipline, up to and including dismissal.
5100 CODE OF ETHICS AND STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
Adopted 5/19/08
All school system employees hold positions of public trust; they are responsible for the education
of students and also serve as examples and role models to students. Each employee is
responsible for both the integrity and the consequences of his or her own actions. The highest
standards of honesty, integrity, and fairness must be exhibited by each employee when engaging
in any activity concerning the school system, particularly in relationships with vendors, suppliers,
students, parents, the public, and other employees. Employee conduct should be such as to
protect both the person’s integrity and/or reputation and that of the school system. Employees
shall not use their positions or assignments to influence students in a manner that would provide
personal benefit to the employee. An unswerving commitment to honorable behavior by each and
28
every employee is expected. Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest
difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.
This policy applies at all times and locations where the employee’s conduct might reflect poorly on
the school, the school system, the employee’s status as a role model for students, or to the extent
otherwise permitted by law.
Employees shall perform their jobs in a competent and ethical manner without violating either the
public trust or applicable law, policies, and regulations. It is not practical or possible to enumerate
all of the situations that might fall under the guidelines of this policy. Employees must honor other
policies, regulations, and approved practices that have been established covering specific areas
of activity, such as conflicts and student testing. The absence of a law, policy, or regulation
covering a particular situation does not relieve an employee from the responsibility to exercise the
highest ethical standards at all times.
Failure to comply with this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
