So what does everyone get for Christmas/Winter break? We get out at 2pm on the 22nd (movie and party day - so will be nice and quiet day in here) and then have off until a staff inservice day Jan.3...

There is a preschool across the hall one way and ECIP (early childhood) across the other way that all use my bathroom. Its much closer and less scary than the big bathroom down the hall. Plus...
Same here. We are getting weather coming in today, supposed to snow for the next 24 hours, then our temps saturday into sunday are forcasted to be -20 actual air temps. Wind chills in the -40 to...
I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe its where I'm from or the facilities I've worked at. I've seen many coworkers hug and say loving things to those residents they were particularly close...
Anyone order these? I ordered last year and I liked them alot. They opened up for orders Dec. 1st last year, so I sent to check recently and I couldn't get the order to work. I've emailed them...
Same. I will try for a bit to give the med, but if a child refuses, I let the teacher know and if the student is otherwise causing problems, our director of SPED and her staff step in to take care...

I am literally from small town USA, so have never had to deal with this and *knock on wood* won't have to, but I guess if I had a student brought to me under suspicion, besides vitals, I would asses...
Well, winter has set in here in the Dakotas, so its back to my Royal Blue " School Staff Wonderland - Where school is cool" sweatshirt on Wednesdays. I guess I'm banished until
If I have a kid come in with a rash on belly or back, I ask them if its ok if I look. I don't take clothes off, but I'm ok with lifting a shirt up to see if my little person is covered with...
We almost had our school closed down a couple years ago. Our otherwise healthy 6th graders started getting very sick, very quickly. Diagnosis was pneumonia - like "I can see it on the xray from...
We are in the process of building a new school and I've been told to start putting together a list of things that will need to be purchased for my office. I will be able to get 3 new couches....
