ELEMENTARY RECESS. All elementary buildings will have one morning and one afternoon recess unless the teachers and principal in the building mutually agree not to have either or both recesses.
ELEMENTARY RECESS. There will be a fifteen (15) minute recess period daily in the elementary schools, as defined by staff. Each elementary school teacher will be off duty for such recess period every other day.
ELEMENTARY RECESS. With the advent of the 30-minute lunch period, elementary teachers will be permitted to schedule no more than one 20-minute outdoor recess period per day, with the following conditions: Teachers must accompany and supervise their own class. The recess period must be conducted in line with an educational goal established by the teacher and/or school. The principal must approve both the scheduling of the recess and the educational goal(s).
ELEMENTARY RECESS. An a.m. (15 minutes) K-5 recess is optional and must be supervised by the teacher. There will be optional recess in the p.m. (K-5) supervised by all participating certified teachers (on a rotating basis). This excludes social workers, school psychologists, speech therapists, teacher consultants, interventionists and any other grant-funded employee whereby state and/or federal funding prohibits. Those working in more than one building will determine with their supervisor which building or buildings they will be assigned recess duty.
ELEMENTARY RECESS. There will be a fifteen (15) minute non-lunch recess/break period daily in the elementary schools, as defined by staff. The non-lunch recess/break may not shorten the instructional block as noted by the building principal. Each elementary school teacher will be off duty for such recess period every other day. The parties agree that during the 2018-2019 school year they will establish a JLMC to assess the ability to transition the lunch recess/break time into a consistent common planning period for elementary teachers. The JLMC will complete this assessment and make any recommendations no later than April 15, 2019. If the JLMC is successful in creating such a plan, the Committee and the UEP will promptly review the plan and negotiate if necessary, so that implementation can occur in the 2019-2020 school year. Any elementary school which currently utilizes elementary lunch recess for common planning time may continue to do so.
