District Offers On-Campus Temporary School-Age Child Supervision Sites for Staff, Starting September 8

Disponible en:

As Aldine ISD prepares to open schools for on-campus learning, it will implement a program to address staff members’ temporary childcare needs. Each school will house the program.

The district decided to implement the program to assist staff after hearing that several staff members have experienced difficulty finding childcare for their school-age children.

Staff members needing supervision for their PreK-5 grade-level child(ren) may take advantage of Aldine’s Temporary School-Age Child Supervision Sites. AISD staff designees will supervise students and the location on campus. The district shared the news with staff earlier this week.

The program is for general support only. Children taking part in the program must manage their own self-care (e.g., toileting, eating).

• Parents — AISD staff — will supply their child(ren) with:
• Lunch and snacks
• Laptop, school supplies and assignments
• Personal protective equipment (PPE), including face coverings, hand sanitizer, etc.

Teachers may use their classrooms for their child(ren). Other staff who do not have a classroom will use the site (e.g., classrooms, computer labs, libraries) designated by the school principals. Principals will also decide the staff needed (e.g., instructional paraprofessional, clerical staff, etc.) for each site.

Campus Instructional Staff Times:

• Ninth/High School — 6:45 a.m.-2:45 p.m.
• Elementary School — 7:25 a.m.-3:25 p.m.
• Primary School — 8:05 a.m.-4:05 p.m.
• Middle School — 8:25 a.m.-4:25 p.m.

Note: Campuses will not provide supervision before or after school.

The school principal, or an assigned designee, will manage the program and make the final decision on participation. Each school site will have a process to account for each child that is on campus per day.

Safety protocols for staff and students will be in place.

School staff will contact parents if any disciplinary issue occurs. Students may not be eligible to remain in the program if disciplinary problems continue.

Staff should reach out to the principal to request placement of their school-age student/s.

The temporary supervision sites will discontinue when on-campus learning begins for students. The district will start to stagger students for in-person learning on September 21.
