Visitors can move to another classroom if there is a test, substitute, or study day.

All visits must be scheduled through the Visitor Coordinator (Paula Casebolt) at least a week in advance.

Visitors must check in at the front desk for visitor badges.

One visitor group per week, a maximum of 6 visitors at a time.

Visits should be kept to 1/2 a day in any one class, one day total.

Please refrain from distracting or speaking to a teaching or otherwise preoccupied teacher.  Very young children can be a distraction, so we ask that they not be in the classrooms.  You are welcome to quietly observe a class and see if a time can be mutually arranged to talk to the teacher or staff member.

Please respect the class’ materials, papers, books, etc.

Check with the appropriate principal before seeking an interview with a student.

There should be no more than one observer in a class at a time (aside from a parent accompanying a prospective student).
