Cathedral School for Boys Faculty and Staff Handbook 2017-18

Director, and parents should be scheduled. Any concerns about the student’s ability to remain at CSB should be stated with the Division Head present.

All teachers are expected to check their voicemail and e-mail at least twice a day for parent messages. All staff should make every effort to respond to communication, especially from parents, on the same day, if possible, or no later than 24 hours after receiving the communication.

Campus Visitors

All visitors should sign in at the front desk. Employees should remain with their guests at all times and remain responsible for the actions of their guests. Members of the public attending public events, such as parent education or athletic competitions, may proceed directly to the appropriate location without signing in. While CSB seeks to create a community that supports the role our staff members play in the lives of their children and families, we also recognize that hosting visitors, including family members and children, can interfere with the ability to effectively perform our jobs. This is especially true in the event of a job-related emergency to which a staff member would need to respond. The potential competition between personal and professional responsibilities can place both students and visitors at risk. For these reasons, we ask staff to refrain from bringing visitors, especially children, to work during school hours or while managing school-related responsibilities either on or off campus. In the event that personal events complicate a staff member’s ability to meet this expectation, he or she should consult the immediate supervisor. Social Media Policy The Internet has become an accessible and powerful means of public communication, whether through e-mail, participation in chat rooms, personal websites, blogs, or social networking sites like Google+ and Facebook (“Social Media”). CSB respects the right of employees to use these vehicles of self-expression and communication. We expect and insist, however, that our employees’ use of Social Media be confined to non-work time and to employees’ own electronic equipment. We do not permit employees to use Social Media during work time or on School equipment. We also expect and insist that employees’ use of Social Media does not damage the School, its students or our working environment. Employees should observe the following guidelines to ensure that their public activities on personal websites, blogs, and social networking sites do not conflict with their responsibilities toward the school and its students including their duties of loyalty and confidentiality.
