RE: Fire Prevention Act 207 and Enrolled House Bill 5237
All Archdiocesan Schools shall have six (6) fire drills each school year. The school is to keep a record of all drills. Keep all doors and exits unlocked from within the building during school hours and when the school is open to the public. At no time, when the building is occupied, should doors be chained. It shall be the duty of each teacher to comply with these requirements. EXIT signs must be in place and visible throughout the building. 1. 2. 3. 4. Requirement: Six (6) fire drills per school year. (two (2) tornado drills and two (2) shelter in place drills are also required) Weather conditions permit four (4) fire drills to be held in the Fall of each school year and two (2) fire drills during the remaining part of the school year. The Fire Chief, or Officer acting under his direction, may reserve the right to cause fire drills with or without notice. The local Fire Director may order installation of other protective apparatus or equipment as shall conform to recognized and approved modern practices.
PRINCIPALS SHOULD DIRECT ATTENTION TO: 1. 2. 3. Fire evacuation procedures posted in each classroom and all other areas occupied at any time. Keep a record of Fire Drills. At the end of the school year, mail a copy of the form to Archdiocesan Office of Health, Athletics, Physical Education and Safety. (HAPS) At least one or two of the fire drills be a smoke drill and one or two blocked exit drills. a. Just before a fire drill, poster (smoke) will be put up somewhere in the school corridors to indicate the presence of smoke. b. In a real fire drill, it may be necessary to crawl in order to stay below smoke, you are not to crawl during the drill. Instead, when you come to a smoke poster, stoop low until you come to a nonsmoke poster, then straighten up and keep going. c. In a real fire, an exit may be blocked. During drill, a poster indicating blocked exit may be posted and an alternate exit urged. After each drill, the posters should be taken down, to be put up again before the next drill in a new location, so students will know how to respond to smoke and to find alternate exits. The drills should be made realistic and should serve to train staff and students to react properly to emergencies. Principals should prepare guidelines for classroom teachers regarding Fire Drills.
NOTE: o o o
POINTS OF EMPHASIS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Keep classroom exit doors free at all times. Follow evacuation procedures. Take classroom record book with you. Be sure all students are out. Close windows and doors. Follow Principal's directives.
FIRE PREVENTION IS A CONTINUED PROCESS: Keep areas clear of fire hazards Store combustible material properly. Know where fire extinguishers are located and how to operate them. Know the location of fire alarms.
The school building and school fields should be periodically inspected for safety and fire hazards. Immediate attention should be given to danger areas.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this handbook of policies and guidelines is to assist Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit to achieve their mission in the education of youth. Policies and Guidelines for the Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit have been prepared by the Office for Catholic Schools, Department of Education of the Archdiocese of Detroit, in response to the needs of those who receive and those who provide the ministry of Catholic school education throughout the Archdiocese. This handbook is a guide for discretionary action. It guides in the sense that it articulates standards of action that, in general, are recommended. Each Policy is a statement of principle. Policies should be implemented by all schools in the Archdiocese. Each Guideline is a statement of recommended conduct for implementing policy. These policies and guidelines represent an effort to promote both stability for delivering consistent, quality services and flexibility for adjusting to the ever-changing future. The policies are not intended to create any expressed or implied contract or right to any individual that a particular policy or guideline will be followed in particular situations. Nor do the policies or guidelines contained in this handbook change in any way the terms and conditions set forth in any written contract between any parish or school and any employee or student of any school. This means the terms and conditions of any written contract will govern over any statement contained in this handbook. This handbook supercedes all previously issued policies, rules, guidelines, or practices concerning Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Detroit, whether oral or written, including any handbook, policy book or general statements previously in effect. This book will be continuously updated so as to reflect current needs, practices and requirements. Policies and Guidelines is a reference point. It is designed to address repetitive, universal issues for our schools.
When questions arise, it is important to consult with the appropriate staff member of the Office for Catholic Schools. A note of special gratitude to the many people who have made these policies and guidelines become a reality, especially persons who raise the issues and questions that keep us ever mindful of our mission as Catholic educators and lead us to a greater commitment to justice and peace.

TORNADO DRILL PROCEDURES
Since a tornado can appear without warning, it is imperative that all sections of a structure be investigated for sheltering possibilities. The safest area in any structure is always the below-grade area. If this does not exist or is too small or inaccessible, then other areas must be considered. The ideal areas to be considered for use as shelters are: (1) Any interior part of the building that has no direct link, by either an exterior wall or windows, to the outside. Protective walls should be constructed of solid building materials, such as brick or block. (2) A place where the ceiling span is narrow. This eliminates any large room such as the auditorium or lunch room. Shelter should be sought against the wall in a seated position with the back against the wall and head protected by the hands. The best protection is awareness. If weather conditions look threatening, the building administrators should keep tabs on weather reports. A tornado watch merely identifies that conditions may be right for a severe storm that could produce a tornado pattern. A tornado warning is only given when tornadic activity is present in the reporting area. When a tornado warning is given, action should immediately be taken to protect the occupants of the building. Many cities have outdoor warning systems that are activated whenever a tornado has been reported. If these sirens sound, seek shelter immediately. REMEMBER 1. Heed all warnings and alerts and seek shelter immediately when an alert has been sounded. All schools should have a battery-operated weather radio. 2. Seek the lowest zones in the structure. 3. Interior areas of the building are the safest. 4. Avoid tunnel effect hallways. These are hallways that have doorways leading to the outside at both ends. 5. Stay away from windows. Do not open or close the windows. Do not worry about turning lights off. 6. Close all doors that lead into the hallway. 7. Sit in a position with the back against the wall, knees drawn up to the chest and hands held over the head. 8. Do not dismiss students until an official all-clear signal is given.
Tornado Drill Procedures(Health, Athletics & Physical Safety)/Aug. 2000
TORNADO PREPARATION AND SAFETY DRILLS

The Law requires two (2) Tornado Drills per School Year. Report Tornado Drills on the same form as Fire Drills. 1. Each school shall have a Tornado Drill Plan for all areas used by students. o The tornado plan is worthless unless tested and understood. o A non-electric warning signal (bull horn, hand bell) needs to be understood by all. o Determine the safest corridors and locations in the building. Consider: o The lowest floor, basement or partial basement o Interior space that has no walls on the exterior of the building (halls) o Space needed seek out a number of spaces. Avoid: o Spaces that are opposite doorways or opening into rooms that have windows in the exterior wall facing south or west. Avoid locations where interior doors swing. o Interior locations with glass such as display cases, transoms and doors. o Portions of the building that contain load-bearing walls, such as gyms and auditoriums or other structures with wide roof span. o Loose or downed electrical wires. o Spaces within the falling radius of higher building elements, such as chimneys or upper walls enclosing higher roof area. Assume that the falling radius is about equal to the height of the higher building element above the roof. 2. Teachers should review the following with students: o Tornado facts o Meaning of Watch and Warning o Kind of shelter to take o The what ifs 3. The following should be done: o Tornado shelter routes and areas posted in each room. o Provisions to warn areas other than the main school building, i.e. playground, church, portables. o All school personnel, including bus drivers, should be aware of established Tornado procedures. o Be prepared for an emergency conduct that planned tornado drill.
4. RECORD AND TEST (DRILL) A plan is almost worthless if it is not tested and understood by the people it is intended to protect. A good plan has the following features: o It is recommended and shared with others so that all know what to do and where to go. Post in each room; teachers inform students; conduct tornado shelter drills. o It identifies one or more spotters who are responsible for prompt, accurate visual identification and weather radio monitoring of an approaching storm. The local Emergency Management Service will provide training. o It contains a prompt, clear warning alarm that is readily understood by all. e.g., 3 long bells ring. 5. EXTERIOR SURVEY Establish true (magnetic) north. Use a compass or compare the building to an accurate map of the locality. Place a north arrow on the floor plans of the building. Do not confuse TRUE NORTH with BUILDING NORTH, a direction used to simplify the drawings. Exterior of the building, looking for and recording the location of: o Potential missiles, such as site equipment, nearby building, automobiles and other debris, especially on the south and west sides. o Ground embankment against the building. o Mechanical equipment on the roof. o Electrical service entrance. o High building elements, such as chimneys, higher portions of the building. o Changes in roof levels. Take a long look from each direction, particularly from the south and west, noting building entrances, windows and construction features. Avoid: Avoid locations where the roof is likely to be removed and/or fall in on the occupants. Missiles also have direct access to the interior. The portion of the roof that is most likely to be removed include: o The long spans (gymnasium, cafeteria). The larger the roof, the greater potential to collapse. o The portions with load-bearing wall supports. o The portions with overhangs on the windward sides. Avoid: Exterior walls that are most likely to be partially or completely destroyed. Most likely, damage will probably occur in the following order to the: o south wall o west wall o east wall o north wall
Avoid: Those corridors that may become wind tunnels. Examination of corridors after tornadoes revealed much debris and evidence of very high speed. This was found in corridors whose exterior doors exited directly (no turns) to the following directions, in order of severity of wind tunnel effect: o south o west o east o north Avoid: Those locations with windows. Assume that the windows will blow in. Avoid: Whenever possible, portions of buildings that contain load-bearing walls. If the wall collapses, the roof or floor will fall in (gymnasiums, auditoriums). Avoid: Loose or downed electrical wires or utility outlets. Consider but not necessarily select: Examination of building failures after high winds reveal a pattern of spaces still remaining after the storm. These are the spaces to consider for occupancy: o Consider the lowest floor. If the building has a basement, or a partial basement, it is probably the safest space in the structure. o Consider the interior spaces (halls). These are spaces that have no walls on the exterior of the building. However, avoid interior spaces that have large spans (gym, auditorium). o Consider the short spans. It is difficult to find one space that will offer a high degree of protection to all the building occupants with the exception of the basement. Therefore, seek out a number of smaller spaces. o Consider the portions of buildings that are supported by rigid structural frames, such as steel, concrete or wood, rather than those portions that have load bearing walls. Refine: It is essential that spaces selected are the very best available. Often poor (relatively hazardous) spaces exist within generally safe areas. These poor spaces must be avoided or occupied as a last resort: o Avoid spaces that are opposite doorways or openings into rooms that have windows in the exterior walls, particularly facing south or west. o Avoid interior locations that contain windows, such as display cases, transoms above doors and door side lights. Avoid interior locations under skylights or clerestories. o Avoid interior locations that contain windows, such as display cases, transoms above doors and door side lights. Avoid interior locations under skylights or clerestories. o Avoid locations where interior doors swing. When the storm hits, the doors are likely to swing violently. Instruct students to sit away from opening swing of doors.
Avoid spaces within the falling radius of higher building elements, such as chimneys or upper walls enclosing higher roof areas. Assume that the falling radius is about equal to the height of the higher building element above the roof.
Other Considerations: Often the best available shelter spaces in the building cannot be occupied during emergencies for various legitimate reasons. Consideration of the follow questions will identify possible conflict: o What portions of space are usable? Permanent equipment and furniture reduce usable space. o Which good spaces are often inaccessible? Many fine spaces are locked with few people having keys. o Which good spaces are unsuitable for occupancy due to operational reasons? Many secure spaces offer excellent protection, but are operationally not good to retain security over records, equipment or money. o Would protection levels increase significantly and time to shelter decrease significantly if people were jammed in a lower square poor person ratios? This is a valid alternative to lower quality protection with more adequate space per person.

REPORT OF WEAPONS FIRED ON CAMPUS OR NEAR SCHOOL

If there is a report of shots fired at or near, a school: 1. Notify police department using 911. 2. Keep everyone in an area under cover and concealed, if possible. Stay behind solid walls and doors. Keep away from windows. 3. Do not engage the suspect. This could generate a hostage situation. 4. If the suspect is outside and it is safe, lock the entry doors. 5. A suspect should be considered armed, unstable and extremely dangerous. 6. Have a special/pre-arranged all-clear signal when situation/school is safe/secure.
STRANGER OR INTRUDER ON CAMPUS

1. The signal will be given over the intercom, or other warning device, that there is now in effect a shelter-in-place drill. a. Where there are no bells or PA systems, administration or counselors will act as runners to notify staff of lock down. b. As soon as a decision is made to lock down the school, administration will notify law enforcement using 911 rather than regular police numbers. 2. If students are in class at the time of the signal, a. teachers/staff will: explain that there is an emergency; lock the classroom doors; have students lie on the floor; close blinds and take any possible precautions to protect others from possible broken glass; and remain locked in offices until advised to move personally by administration or public safety officer or an all clear signal. b. administration will: act with custodians to check locks on all exterior doors and classroom doors;
designate a person (an administrator, if possible) to coordinate with public safety personnel at their command post; and make sure that a site map and key set are available to public safety personnel. be available to deal with the media/press and bystanders to keep site clear of visitors.
3. If students are not in class at the time of the signal, a. teachers/staff will: assist administration in moving students into the nearest safe building available; lock doors of room if possible. remain with students to maintain order; keep students in a safe area until advised personally by administration or public safety personnel to move or that there is an all clear signal; and avoid, if possible, large open areas such as the library, gym, lawns or parking lots. b. administration and public safety personnel will: work with staff to move students into the nearest safe building available; act with custodians to check locks on all exterior doors and classroom doors; designate a person (an administrator, if possible) to coordinate with public safety personnel at their command post; and make sure that a site map and key set are available to public safety personnel.
4. All-clear signal will: (should be special or pre-arranged signal) a. be given after consultation with the senior public safety officer on the scene; and/or b. be a personal notification by the senior administrator. Staff is not to act upon bells or PA messages without this personal notification. 5. Dissemination of information about procedures: Staff handbook and discussion at staff meeting Substitute folders Drill at least twice a year. It is recommended that law enforcement be present for the drill to help monitor and improve performance
Recommendation: Students should be aware in advance that there will be severe consequences for failure to cooperate with administration or staff during an emergency or drill.
AFTER ACTION OF ANY EMERGENCY

After an emergency situation, the following plan is suggested. 1. Communication with everyone involved advising that the emergency is over. 2.

FIRE DRILLS
RE: Fire Prevention Act 207 and Enrolled House Bill 5237
All Archdiocesan Schools shall have six (6) fire drills each school year. The school is to keep a record of all drills. Keep all doors and exits unlocked from within the building during school hours and when the school is open to the public. At no time, when the building is occupied, should doors be chained. It shall be the duty of each teacher to comply with these requirements. EXIT signs must be in place and visible throughout the building. 1. 2. 3. 4. Requirement: Six (6) fire drills per school year. (two (2) tornado drills and two (2) shelter in place drills are also required) Weather conditions permit four (4) fire drills to be held in the Fall of each school year and two (2) fire drills during the remaining part of the school year. The Fire Chief, or Officer acting under his direction, may reserve the right to cause fire drills with or without notice. The local Fire Director may order installation of other protective apparatus or equipment as shall conform to recognized and approved modern practices.
PRINCIPALS SHOULD DIRECT ATTENTION TO: 1. 2. 3. Fire evacuation procedures posted in each classroom and all other areas occupied at any time. Keep a record of Fire Drills. At the end of the school year, mail a copy of the form to Archdiocesan Office of Health, Athletics, Physical Education and Safety. (HAPS) At least one or two of the fire drills be a smoke drill and one or two blocked exit drills. a. Just before a fire drill, poster (smoke) will be put up somewhere in the school corridors to indicate the presence of smoke. b. In a real fire drill, it may be necessary to crawl in order to stay below smoke, you are not to crawl during the drill. Instead, when you come to a smoke poster, stoop low until you come to a nonsmoke poster, then straighten up and keep going. c. In a real fire, an exit may be blocked. During drill, a poster indicating blocked exit may be posted and an alternate exit urged. After each drill, the posters should be taken down, to be put up again before the next drill in a new location, so students will know how to respond to smoke and to find alternate exits. The drills should be made realistic and should serve to train staff and students to react properly to emergencies. Principals should prepare guidelines for classroom teachers regarding Fire Drills.
NOTE: o o o
POINTS OF EMPHASIS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Keep classroom exit doors free at all times. Follow evacuation procedures. Take classroom record book with you. Be sure all students are out. Close windows and doors. Follow Principal's directives.
FIRE PREVENTION IS A CONTINUED PROCESS: Keep areas clear of fire hazards Store combustible material properly. Know where fire extinguishers are located and how to operate them. Know the location of fire alarms.
The school building and school fields should be periodically inspected for safety and fire hazards. Immediate attention should be given to danger areas.

TORNADO DRILL PROCEDURES
Since a tornado can appear without warning, it is imperative that all sections of a structure be investigated for sheltering possibilities. The safest area in any structure is always the below-grade area. If this does not exist or is too small or inaccessible, then other areas must be considered. The ideal areas to be considered for use as shelters are: (1) Any interior part of the building that has no direct link, by either an exterior wall or windows, to the outside. Protective walls should be constructed of solid building materials, such as brick or block. (2) A place where the ceiling span is narrow. This eliminates any large room such as the auditorium or lunch room. Shelter should be sought against the wall in a seated position with the back against the wall and head protected by the hands. The best protection is awareness. If weather conditions look threatening, the building administrators should keep tabs on weather reports. A tornado watch merely identifies that conditions may be right for a severe storm that could produce a tornado pattern. A tornado warning is only given when tornadic activity is present in the reporting area. When a tornado warning is given, action should immediately be taken to protect the occupants of the building. Many cities have outdoor warning systems that are activated whenever a tornado has been reported. If these sirens sound, seek shelter immediately. REMEMBER 1. Heed all warnings and alerts and seek shelter immediately when an alert has been sounded. All schools should have a battery-operated weather radio. 2. Seek the lowest zones in the structure. 3. Interior areas of the building are the safest. 4. Avoid tunnel effect hallways. These are hallways that have doorways leading to the outside at both ends. 5. Stay away from windows. Do not open or close the windows. Do not worry about turning lights off. 6. Close all doors that lead into the hallway. 7. Sit in a position with the back against the wall, knees drawn up to the chest and hands held over the head. 8. Do not dismiss students until an official all-clear signal is given.
Tornado Drill Procedures(Health, Athletics & Physical Safety)/Aug. 2000
TORNADO PREPARATION AND SAFETY DRILLS

The Law requires two (2) Tornado Drills per School Year. Report Tornado Drills on the same form as Fire Drills. 1. Each school shall have a Tornado Drill Plan for all areas used by students. o The tornado plan is worthless unless tested and understood. o A non-electric warning signal (bull horn, hand bell) needs to be understood by all. o Determine the safest corridors and locations in the building. Consider: o The lowest floor, basement or partial basement o Interior space that has no walls on the exterior of the building (halls) o Space needed seek out a number of spaces. Avoid: o Spaces that are opposite doorways or opening into rooms that have windows in the exterior wall facing south or west. Avoid locations where interior doors swing. o Interior locations with glass such as display cases, transoms and doors. o Portions of the building that contain load-bearing walls, such as gyms and auditoriums or other structures with wide roof span. o Loose or downed electrical wires. o Spaces within the falling radius of higher building elements, such as chimneys or upper walls enclosing higher roof area. Assume that the falling radius is about equal to the height of the higher building element above the roof. 2. Teachers should review the following with students: o Tornado facts o Meaning of Watch and Warning o Kind of shelter to take o The what ifs 3. The following should be done: o Tornado shelter routes and areas posted in each room. o Provisions to warn areas other than the main school building, i.e. playground, church, portables. o All school personnel, including bus drivers, should be aware of established Tornado procedures. o Be prepared for an emergency conduct that planned tornado drill.
4. RECORD AND TEST (DRILL) A plan is almost worthless if it is not tested and understood by the people it is intended to protect. A good plan has the following features: o It is recommended and shared with others so that all know what to do and where to go. Post in each room; teachers inform students; conduct tornado shelter drills. o It identifies one or more spotters who are responsible for prompt, accurate visual identification and weather radio monitoring of an approaching storm. The local Emergency Management Service will provide training. o It contains a prompt, clear warning alarm that is readily understood by all. e.g., 3 long bells ring. 5. EXTERIOR SURVEY Establish true (magnetic) north. Use a compass or compare the building to an accurate map of the locality. Place a north arrow on the floor plans of the building. Do not confuse TRUE NORTH with BUILDING NORTH, a direction used to simplify the drawings. Exterior of the building, looking for and recording the location of: o Potential missiles, such as site equipment, nearby building, automobiles and other debris, especially on the south and west sides. o Ground embankment against the building. o Mechanical equipment on the roof. o Electrical service entrance. o High building elements, such as chimneys, higher portions of the building. o Changes in roof levels. Take a long look from each direction, particularly from the south and west, noting building entrances, windows and construction features. Avoid: Avoid locations where the roof is likely to be removed and/or fall in on the occupants. Missiles also have direct access to the interior. The portion of the roof that is most likely to be removed include: o The long spans (gymnasium, cafeteria). The larger the roof, the greater potential to collapse. o The portions with load-bearing wall supports. o The portions with overhangs on the windward sides. Avoid: Exterior walls that are most likely to be partially or completely destroyed. Most likely, damage will probably occur in the following order to the: o south wall o west wall o east wall o north wall
Avoid: Those corridors that may become wind tunnels. Examination of corridors after tornadoes revealed much debris and evidence of very high speed. This was found in corridors whose exterior doors exited directly (no turns) to the following directions, in order of severity of wind tunnel effect: o south o west o east o north Avoid: Those locations with windows. Assume that the windows will blow in. Avoid: Whenever possible, portions of buildings that contain load-bearing walls. If the wall collapses, the roof or floor will fall in (gymnasiums, auditoriums). Avoid: Loose or downed electrical wires or utility outlets. Consider but not necessarily select: Examination of building failures after high winds reveal a pattern of spaces still remaining after the storm. These are the spaces to consider for occupancy: o Consider the lowest floor. If the building has a basement, or a partial basement, it is probably the safest space in the structure. o Consider the interior spaces (halls). These are spaces that have no walls on the exterior of the building. However, avoid interior spaces that have large spans (gym, auditorium). o Consider the short spans. It is difficult to find one space that will offer a high degree of protection to all the building occupants with the exception of the basement. Therefore, seek out a number of smaller spaces. o Consider the portions of buildings that are supported by rigid structural frames, such as steel, concrete or wood, rather than those portions that have load bearing walls. Refine: It is essential that spaces selected are the very best available. Often poor (relatively hazardous) spaces exist within generally safe areas. These poor spaces must be avoided or occupied as a last resort: o Avoid spaces that are opposite doorways or openings into rooms that have windows in the exterior walls, particularly facing south or west. o Avoid interior locations that contain windows, such as display cases, transoms above doors and door side lights. Avoid interior locations under skylights or clerestories. o Avoid interior locations that contain windows, such as display cases, transoms above doors and door side lights. Avoid interior locations under skylights or clerestories. o Avoid locations where interior doors swing. When the storm hits, the doors are likely to swing violently. Instruct students to sit away from opening swing of doors.
Avoid spaces within the falling radius of higher building elements, such as chimneys or upper walls enclosing higher roof areas. Assume that the falling radius is about equal to the height of the higher building element above the roof.
Other Considerations: Often the best available shelter spaces in the building cannot be occupied during emergencies for various legitimate reasons. Consideration of the follow questions will identify possible conflict: o What portions of space are usable? Permanent equipment and furniture reduce usable space. o Which good spaces are often inaccessible? Many fine spaces are locked with few people having keys. o Which good spaces are unsuitable for occupancy due to operational reasons? Many secure spaces offer excellent protection, but are operationally not good to retain security over records, equipment or money. o Would protection levels increase significantly and time to shelter decrease significantly if people were jammed in a lower square poor person ratios? This is a valid alternative to lower quality protection with more adequate space per person.

COMMUNICATIONS
Conferences At the end of the first quarter, in November, a mandatory Parent/Teacher conference is scheduled. The purpose of the conference is to discuss the student's strengths and weaknesses early in the year so that maximum achievement and continual progress can be assured. Parents are notified will in advance of the dates for conferences and given some choice of the day and time. Teachers are encouraged to have additional conferences throughout the year when the need arises. An appointment should be made with the student's parents so that adequate time can be given. Conferences are an excellent means of strengthening the bond between home and school. A Parent Conference card is to be filled out and filed for every contact made with a parent. These forms can be found in the brown wooden file box in the office copy room. Progress Reports Teachers are responsible for sending student work home on a regular basis (weekly or biweekly). This is an important means of communication between the school and the home. Teachers should indicate, on a cover sheet, areas of concern and/or positive comments. For students in grades K-3, please consider sending all work home in a weekly folder that parents can expect on a designated day. This folder is to be signed by the parent and returned to the teacher. Mid-Term progress reports will be sent home to parents at the mid- point of each marking period. Weekly or daily progress reports may be sent home at the parents request or when deemed necessary by the teacher. Mid term reports are to be attached to the final copy of the report card and placed in the student's CA-60 file at the end of the school year. Phone Calls to Parents Phone calls are the best form of communication with parents. When possible, phone parents to discuss concerns about their child. Phone conference slips are to be filled out and retained by the teacher. Teachers are to log phone calls to parents in a spreadsheet on Google Drive that is shared with the Principal. A teacher should return a parent phone call as soon as possible on the day it was received. A record of parent phone calls is to be documented as above. Teachers break periods are intended to be used for this purpose.
