Summer School Application
Pedagogical and School-Based support staff may apply for summer school positions using the Summer School Instructional Program online  application tool (SSIP).  Applications are due by May 27; applications submitted after that date will be deemed late and only considered after review of applications submitted by the due date. The SSIP can be found at the following link (https://www.nycenet.edu/summerjobs/)
ISA Summer Institute
The Institute for Student Achievement organizes a Summer Institute annually.  The Summer Institute is designed for individual schools to develop and create strategic plans for the new school year.  If you are interested in participating we ask that you fill out the following form.  Room and board will be provided to participants.  This would be a great opportunity for us to come together as a community.  The Institute will be held at the Glen Cove Mansion Hotel in Glen Cove, NY from the evening of June 28th to the afternoon of June 30th.
Students leaving classrooms
As a reminder, please follow the proper protocol, as stated in the staff handbook, when you allow students to leave your classroom. Review the following:
·         Students visiting the restroom – Student should sign the bathroom log, and use the bathroom pass.  Only one student should be out at a time to use the restroom.  The safety team logs their use of the restroom with the bathroom log.  Students should not take the pass in the first 10 or last 10 minutes of a class.
·         Students visiting the office/nurse – Student should be given a written pass to the office. 
·         Student who needs a break from the classroom – Student should be escorted out by a member of the safety team.  The safety team logs the classroom removal, and is able to communicate with the teacher(s) on whether the student is able to return.
Following the proper protocol will allow us to maintain a positive hallway culture where safety can address students who are not following procedure.  This will also maintain clear lines of communication between the safety team and the teachers.
