The attainment of your goals and objectives will be reviewed and referenced in any formal assessments completed.

3. All education staff is expected to assist in student extra-curricular activities and sign up for these activities on a regular and consistent basis throughout the school year. The Principal will monitor staff participation to ensure all staff is equally involved with student activities. If staff do not sign up or attend activities as scheduled, the School Principal has the full authority to sign up staff as required.

4. Please check your mailboxes and empty/clean your mailboxes on a regular daily basis.

5. Please clean up after yourself at all times. If you are utilizing the photocopier and the paper runs out, please re-fill the tray. If you have a paper jam, please attempt to resolve the issue or inform the school secretary and place a note on the copier. Ensure if you are using a transparency that it is the correct one for the copier. If you are using colored paper, kindly remove unused paper before leaving the copier.

6. As professionals working with children, you have a responsibility called the “duty to report”. This means if you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected that you must inform your School Principal as soon as you have this concern. It is the responsibility of the administration to act on your concern as required utilizing the approved First Nation protocol.

7. It is of paramount importance that all education staff adheres to the approved Nibinamik Education Authority Staff Code of Ethics. Not only is this a condition of employment and contract, it is the guiding document for all actions of staff. Discipline actions will result if any staff member violates any section of this Code of Ethics.

8. It is a professional obligation and requirement that all teachers review and sign in to the Ontario Student Record (OSR) of each student in your respective classroom as soon as possible in the school year. These records are confidential and cannot leave the OSR file area or the school at any time. No staff member can remove any data from these files. After each reporting period it is the responsibility of each classroom teacher to place a copy of the current report in each OSR file as soon as possible. It is a requirement that teachers sign in and out of the OSR each time reviewed. Please maintain these files in order. For further information please visit the Ontario Ministry of Education OSR website.

9. It is a professional obligation of all teaching staff to ensure that all planning is completed as per the Nibinamik Education Authority policies. Teaching is not a 9:00 to 5:00 job. Teaching effectively requires instruction staff to plan, mark assignments and maintain records after school hours. Teachers must understand and accept that this after-hours work is a necessary and expected “part of the job”; (copy of Planning Policy in the Appendices).

10. Please ensure that you review the Master School Calendar and note the important dates (See copy in Appendices). 

11. All staff will be assigned on a rotating basis student supervision and yard duty. You are expected to treat this as a very important component of your professional responsibilities and you must ensure that the students are adequately supervised at all times. You need to be on time for your assigned duty and ensure that you can view all the students. (Please refer to Section F for further information concerning supervision of students).

12. If you know you are going to be absent from your assigned duties, please negotiate and trade off your scheduled supervision with another staff member prior to your departure and inform your School Principal. Under no circumstances, if a student is seriously injured, attempt to move the student. All school rules apply during supervision duties. If a staff member “forgets” the duty, please inform your Principal. It is expected that the School Principal will develop schedules on a fair and equal basis for all staff.

13. Ensure that you respect all organizational protocols at all times. In most cases the Principal is your immediate supervisor and as such, if you have any issues, please take the time to discuss these with your immediate supervisor in a fair and frank manner so that the issue can be mutually resolved. Be professional at all times and refrain from gossip. If you have concerns with another staff member, ensure you discuss these with the appropriate staff member prior to speaking to anyone else. If you are unable to seek resolution, then please inform your School Principal for further intervention or action required.

14. Please share your resources and take only what you need so that everyone has access to resources or supplies.

15. If you take the last pot of coffee it is suggested that you make another pot if required.

16. Ensure that you respect any confidential information and do not talk negatively about any student or staff member in any public domain. It is essential that you foster pride and dignity and self-respect for all students at all times.

The Nibinamik Education Authority will file all copies of staff assessments from your supervisor/ evaluator as a matter of protocol.

18. All education staff are expected to dress neatly and in good taste in order to set an example for the students. Unacceptable dress includes clothing with alcohol or drug slogans, tattered jeans, tight fitting clothing and recreational sweats (except if part of the employment duties).

19. Depending on the availability of funding and availability of substitutes, staff may be considered to attend Professional Development opportunities. Please provide your School Principal with details a minimum of 10 days in advance and this will be forwarded to the Education Authority for a decision. If staff attend a workshop, it is expected that upon return to the school, they will share information with the Principal and any staff member who may benefit. The Nibinamik Education Authority and the FNSSP will attempt to provide as much on- site professional development as possible.

20. If you have any ideas or suggestions for change or improvements, please discuss these directly with your immediate supervisor.

21. At various times throughout the school year you may be requested to provide information or to complete reports. It is expected that affected staff will respond in a timely manner to such requests.

22. Education staff are expected to demonstrate respect at all times to one another, students, and guests.

23. All staff must complete the Employee Request for Leave of Absences from work for each absence. If the absence is sudden, this form must be completed upon your return to work. If the absence is planned, please inform your immediate supervisor as soon as possible. (Copy available from the school secretary or the Principal).

24. If you must visit the Health Centre/Clinic during working times, please inform your supervisor as soon as you are aware of the time of your appointment so arrangements can be made if required. Please refrain from providing only a few minutes notice concerning the time of your appointment as much as possible.

25. It is an expectation that all staff will read and understand all Nibinamik Education Authority Policies. If you wish to view a copy of these policies, please make a request to the Principal or the Finance Administrator.

26. At no time is yelling at the students permitted. When you become frustrated and your normal “teacher voice” is seemingly not effective, try to negotiate with the students, use positive praise and encouragement rather than frustrating the students as well. Try different approaches as recent academic studies have demonstrated that yelling is not an effective classroom management technique.

27. It is a professional expectation of all teachers that they will not simply attempt to utilize daily lesson plans developed in previous years. This is totally unprofessional and it of great disservice to our students. Teachers must develop and utilize newly developed lesson plans incorporating any recent Ministry expectations and using any new resources provided. Instruction staff must utilize any approved lesson plan templates as required.

28. The school day commences at 8:30 a.m. for all instruction staff and concludes formally at 4:15 p.m. (unless there is a scheduled meeting or activity). All staff is expected to arrive at school on time and as scheduled. The additional time before and after normal school hours are to be used for planning, short meetings, required photo-copying, correction of student work, organizing the classrooms, changing bulletin boards etc. unless you are on scheduled yard duty.

NOTE: Should your supervisor note that you are late, the following is the action that will be undertaken to rectify the situation:

• When the first to the 5th time late is recorded, the School Principal will immediately discuss this behaviour with the employee (reasons and corrective actions to be taken);

• 6th time late – A warning letter from School Principal;

• 11th time late – A suspension without pay for up to 3 school days;

• 16th absence- Meeting with the Education Authority to resolve the issue.

Please note: If the reason for being late is reasonable and acceptable to the Principal, no action should be forthcoming.

The school hours for students are as follows:

Elementary School – 9:00 a.m. until 3:45 p.m.
High School – 9: 00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.; unless modified due to excessive school closures.

29. All staff must sign in and out upon every entrance and departure to the school on the staff sign in/out sheet in the main offices of the school. The Principal will be reviewing these sheets on a very regular basis to ensure compliance to expectations and policy. Any staff being consistently late or not signing in and out as required will be subject to the Staff Discipline Policy and the steps outlined in expectation # 30 will be monitored by the School Principal. It is important to note that you have many educational responsibilities throughout the school day including providing a safe, creative learning environment for the students so all staff are encouraged to limit absences from work as much as possible.

30. If for any reason you are going to be late or absent, it is required that you inform the Principal of any absence as soon as possible in advance and/or no later than 8:00 a.m. the day of each absence. It is very disruptive to other staff members and the students when staff do not inform the Principal that they will be late or absent. It is expected that you will contact the school each and every day of your absence to assist the Principal to engage substitutes etc..

31. When staff is absent it is necessary to ensure that all classrooms are adequately staffed to ensure the health and safety of the students. As such, there will be times when staff is temporarily moved to another classroom as required with little or no notice depending upon the circumstances. Under no circumstances should assigned Special Education staff be assigned any other duties.

35. All photocopying must be completed outside of regular class instruction time. Unless it is a rare and extreme emergency, at no time should staff be utilizing the copier during class time, except during your scheduled prep times.

36. Use of laptops and the classroom computers must only be used for education purposes.

It is expected that all classroom teachers will develop and implement a hallway pass system for their respective classrooms in order to assist you in your classroom management and hallway management (know where each student is at all times). No more than two students are permitted in the hallway during school hours from your class.

38. To ensure that we maximize learning time for all students it is essential that no students be dismissed prior to the overall dismissal time schedules (however, for the younger students and grades please use your discretion and schedule time in the timetable for the students to get dressed, line up and be ready for the bus).

39. It is expected that the students will be escorted from the classrooms to the exit doors as required and if necessary, to ensure that all the students are on the bus. Your supervision ends when the students are on the bus and off the school grounds. We cannot simply dismiss the students without supervising the students out of the school unless they are participating in a school sponsored extra-curricular activity.

45. All instructional staff must maintain up to date student work folder portfolios per student per subject.

46. Special Education program services will continue to be a priority this school year. It is the expectation that the classroom teachers will work very closely with the Special Education Teachers as we continue to improve our delivery of services to the students Please continue to utilize the Special Education forms available from the Special Education Teacher.

47. Specific forms are available for student referrals to the Special Education Teachers. It is the full responsibility of the classroom Teacher to attempt every teaching methodology and every student learning methodology prior to forwarding a referral. All instruction staff will continue to be involved with initial IEP or semi-annual IEP updates, and attend all IPRC meetings as scheduled for their respective classroom students.

48. It is an expectation that all paraprofessional staff will also work with identified exceptional students during regular class hours. The classroom teacher and/or the Special Education Teacher will provide modified programming as required to assist in increasing student learning and success.

54. We will make every effort to have formal staff meetings to occur once per month and shorter meetings will occur as required. The Principal will attempt to provide as much advance notice as possible. Please mark these dates in your daybook and calendar. The objective of having regular staff meetings are for the purpose of sharing information, improving the functions of the programs at the school, and to share in decision making. Please come prepared to participate and be punctual. For these staff meetings all staff is expected to attend and participate. Remember to:

• Listen to others

• Ensure that the students pick up from the floor any mess they may have made and place this garbage in the cans as required.
• Ensure that when school is done for the day that the students place their chairs on their desks (if desired by the cleaning staff).

The first three days are the time to develop and be consistent with your classroom rules, expectations and consequences for violation. The following procedures are strongly recommended when developing a positive classroom environment: how do you plan to gain the students attention when it is time for direct instruction?

• Attendance and student effort
• Minimum attendance of 80%

Please reinforce this to the students as necessary, and inform the parents at each reporting period, how the student is progressing towards promotion.
