Tips for Cultural Schools

Important Reminders for a Successful School Year 

Please review the following guidelines with each staff member and parent volunteer involved in classroom instruction and coordination of your group activities. 

Start your day by having all your students meet in the cafeteria, or other central location, and have your instructors escort their students to the classrooms. 

  1. The class instructor should always be the first to enter the classroom and the last to leave the classroom.  Please report to the building service staff, any damage found in a room when you first arrive.  Also immediately report any damage which occurs while you are using the room.

  2. Supervise students at all times, in classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, etc.  Please do not allow students in areas of the buildings your organization has not scheduled for use.

  3. If a teacher needs to leave the classroom during instruction another adult supervisor (over 21) must be assigned to the room in her or his absence.

  4.  Please make note of the arrangement of furniture in the classroom when you arrive and be sure it is arranged the same way when you leave.

  5. Papers, books and other Montgomery County Public School classroom materials are not to be used or moved.  Please remind your students that public school students and teachers work hard on their projects, decorations and assignments. 

  6. The Montgomery County Public School teacher’s desk is only to be used by the cultural school instructor.  Please do not disturb personal and professional items on the desk. 

  7. Before leaving for the day, please check the following:

  • Blackboard has been erased

  • Furniture has been arranged as found

  • Trash has been placed in trash receptacles

  • Personal belongings have been removed

  1. Please close the door before you leave making sure it locks behind you. 

REMEMBER

*Refreshments, including beverages, are not permitted in classrooms.

*Audio visual equipment must be requested, through the school office, one week prior to use.  The fee is $2.50 per use.

*In the event that additional cleanup is required, or materials or equipment must be replaced or repaired, community use groups are charged accordingly.
