Our
head custodian has compiled this list of guidelines for the care of
our building and its security. Please make every effort to follow
these recommendations:
No masking tape on the
walls or carpets - it pulls the paint off and damages the
carpet.
Emergency Windows - nothing
should be on the window sills, nothing should be on the glass,
the sill to the left of the window should be kept empty so that
when the window opens, the track is not blocked.
Nothing should hang from
the ceiling except where no one will sit or traffic is unlikely.
Security alarms are sensitive to movement near ceilings. Nothing
should hang over vents that ill cause movement.
For fire drills and at all
times, there should be access to windows labeled with emergency
stickers. If you need to use the windows with screens, there are
two clips to release the screens.
For fire inspection, any
items that are labeled "flammable" should be in metal
containers when not in use.
Children should not carry
pencils, pens or markers to the bathroom when being excused from
the classroom.
A teacher or an aide should
supervise the use of paints on carpets. Place newspapers
thoroughly under any project involving painting to protect the
carpet from stains.
Empty milk cartons should
not be put in the waste baskets. Put them in the area where
morning milk is left for pick up later.
Closet doors in the halls
should be kept closed when not in use to prevent
accidents.
Nothing is to be put under
or in front of fire extinguishers.
Caps in the floor outlets
are to be replaced when not in use.
Equipment should be plugged
directly into outlets and no leads used.
At 3 p.m., the building
will be locked when school is not in session. The parking lot
door will be left open later.
The refrigerator in the
faculty room will be used for faculty lunches only. It is to be
cleaned regularly by those who use it.
Any larger items to be
discarded from classrooms should be placed by the waste baskets
daily for removal by second shift custodians.
When leaving your classroom
for the day, secure all windows.
Have students place their
chairs on their desks at the end of the day.
The faculty room is for
staff only, unless the students are accompanied by an adult.
The boards in the
classrooms are designed for washable markers and must be kept
clean on a regular basis. A thorough restorative cleaning can be
arranged by mentioning it to the custodians.
Do not serve refreshments
in the large group room.
