Staff Expectations

• All summer staff will be expected to attend a one (1) hour planning session prior to the end of the school year. Details to come. For teachers and related service providers, planning time is not compensated separately as it is built into the daily rate paid during the summer session.

• Professional staff will be expected to develop their schedules and have them completed by June 16, 2023, so they can be shared with families before the end of the school year. Staff will need to communicate schedules to families at this time.
• To ensure consistency of programming and coverage, it is preferred that all teachers and TAs commit to the full 6 weeks and schedule vacations around ESY (*see above). Those that cannot are encouraged to apply for substitute positions or find a job share partner.
