    I mean during normal school hours not while doing screening or anything.

    Just curious.

    Open generally, but my office is attached to the main office (plus I have a little interior window to the main office..weird right?) so if there is a lot going on in there I'll close it.

    I would love to leave my door closed I have a few students with mobility issues and the doors are difficult for them to open - so my door is always open unless I am dealing with an emergency.

    I have two offices - one at the elementary school and one at the D.O.

    At the elementary school I also use the little room off the main office where the copy machine and student files are kept - I give the insulin and ice bags and bandaids out there. My "office" is for H&V screenings and where I access my laptop. This office is always open unless doing H&V's. I'm 3 steps from the cafeteria/gym.

    My D.O. office door stays open . . . . or shut if the kids get noisy as I'm next to the gym/cafeteria there too.

    I don't have any real space at the other elementary school or the two high schools.

    I guess I should answer my own question. I always leave my door open (unless I am doing screenings). I like it open because I still feel like I am part of the school and I can hear things happening down the hallway, etc.
