Classroom Visit Policy

Classroom Visit Policy

If you would like to observe a lesson, visit a classroom, or meet with a teacher, an appointment is required. We appreciate your understanding of the fact that classrooms run on routines and consistency and sometimes classrooms are involved in activities like testing that require students to be focused. In such cases we want any changes to the classroom routine be kept to a minimum. Please follow these guidelines:
  • Contact the teacher, ask what times are best and schedule a visit at least 24 hours in advance. (Your teacher will suggest times that do not conflict with scheduled activities like testing.)
  • Most subjects are taught in 45-90 minute blocks of time. We strongly encourage you to limit visits to within these times.
  • While in the classroom please respect your teacher’s directions regarding your working with, helping, or interacting with our students. Our students’ education is their primary responsibility.
  • Report to the office as explained in the “Volunteers and Visitors Policy” above.
  • Turn cell phone/device on silent or off and have them out of sight during the visit. (No use of any electronic listening or recording devices may be used by students or visitors in a classroom without the teacher and principal’s permission. (BP 1250; Education Code 51512)
