Mandatory Staff Meeting!!

Communication skills between Coworkers and PARENTS!

1.       Develop effective was to communicate with our coworkers. Possibly set up a box to drop comments, concerns or ideas into either with a name or anonymous. The box will be checked every Friday by me (director). Which I will review over the weekend and Monday morning all issues, concerns, or ideas with be addressed individually and as a whole.

2.       Welcome parents into the classroom at drop off and pick up. Get them involved! Help parents to be active in the classroom. Show them what their child has been working on. And address any questions or concerns that they may have.

3.       Cell phones!! Absolutely NO cell phones in use in the classroom. Please turn all phones on vibrate. NO calls should be taken inside the classroom unless it is an emergency! If you need to answer because of an emergency please ask the director or assistant director, to come and step in your class so that you may take the call.

4.       Music in the classroom! The only music that should be played inside the classroom around the children is kid friendly music. Please nothing else!

I feel that staff meetings are important because it opens up the floor for all workers to ask and address any questions or concerns that they may have. It also allows the director to provide any necessary feedback to employees. It also helps employees with resources needed to take additional training.
