General Communication
- The principal must review and approve all correspondence that is sent home to parents or placed in the community.
- All faculty/staff members of Booker T. Washington High are asked NOT to talk to media people on the campus unless cleared by the principal. If a media person asks you or one of your students a question, please refer them to the principal.
- Every teacher should check their email and GroupMe messages daily for news and announcements. Teachers are personally responsible for all information transmitted via email and GroupMe.
- Each teacher is provided a mailbox in the office. Personal mail, notices, and other materials will be placed in the teachers’ boxes as it arrives. It is suggested that teachers check boxes daily and not allow mail and other materials to accumulate.
- Teacher’s bulletin boards are located in the lounge and in the main office. Pertinent information will be posted from time to time on this board. Please check it regularly for notices that may require some action.
- If there is a change in name, address, marital status, or telephone number at any time during the school year, please inform the financial secretary.
- Daily announcements will be made from the office intercom during morning announcements and approximately 5 minutes before dismissal. Both the club/organization sponsor and an administrator must approve all announcements. Teachers desiring to have announcements made are requested to submit them the day before. An administrator MUST approve emergency announcements. Announcement request forms can be found on the BTW teacher weebly.
- Telephone messages to teachers will be placed in the teachers’ mailboxes. A teacher will be contacted immediately in the case of an emergency. Lack of office helpers will not permit the delivery of messages; therefore, it may be necessary for each teacher to check his or her mailbox at lunch and before leaving for the day.
- Do NOT display images of students on your personal social media pages without written consent from the parent AND written approval from the principal.
