Elementary Teacher Preparation Time. The District shall provide full-time teachers with one preparation period per day for the purpose of class preparation or planning.

Teachers may be assigned other duties during their preparation period only for immediate student need as determined by the administration.
Elementary Teacher Preparation Time. All elementary teachers will be guaranteed a minimum of 200 minutes per week of non- assigned preparation time during the student day. In addition, elementary teachers will also be guaranteed one (1) sixty (60) minute planning period on Wednesday. Non-assigned preparation time shall be scheduled so that no time period is less than thirty (30) minutes’ duration for kindergarten teachers and specialist teachers and forty (40) minutes’ duration for teachers of grades K through 5. Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, every elementary teacher will be provided this time in equal blocks (e.g. 50 minutes) on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Every effort will be made to ensure that teachers will determine use of this time for activities including but not limited to: student tutorials, parent communications, afternoon setup, completing reports and forms and engaging in professional discourse. On occasion, teachers may be asked to attend a meeting during this time, provided that the teacher has a preparation period during the day of the meeting.
