To ensure the safety of our students and staff and to prevent undue interruption of instruction, all visitors to the campus must follow the procedures below:

Classroom Observations

• Approval of a site administrator or designee must be obtained at least 36 hours before observing a class.
• Frequency of observations will be reasonable so as not to disrupt classroom instruction.
• Frequency may be limited at the principal or designee’s discretion.
• All visitors must check in at the office and wear a visitor badge before proceeding to the classroom.
• At the discretion of the principal or designee, a school or district employee may accompany the visitor.
• Observations are limited to no more than 30 minutes. Exceptions may be made at the principal or designee’s discretion.
• While in the classroom:
  • Observe quietly. Avoid talking to or disrupting students and teacher.
  • Do not move about the classroom as this is distracting to students and teacher.
  • Interact with the students only if the teacher has agreed to such contact before the observation.
  • If more than one person is observing at a time, please avoid conversations until outside the classroom.
  • The observation is not to be used as an opportunity to conference with the teacher. If the visitor desires discussion with the teacher on the day of the observation, a conference appointment may be prearranged with the teacher before the observation date.
  • Students’ rights of confidentiality must be observed at all times.
• If observation becomes a disruption to classroom instruction, the visitor will be asked to leave.
• Visitation rights may be limited if the observation becomes a disruption to the students and/or the teacher.
