[quote=Anonymous]"Responsibilities involving time in excess of 7 1/2 hours per day or 8 hours per day if assigned to Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and extended-day schools may be scheduled by the principal or program manager. Such duties shall normally relate to, but are not limited to, pupil transportation, faculty meetings, student-related activities, and parent conferences. A teacher's primary responsibility shall be to teach, and, whenever feasible, the assignment of nonteaching duties to teachers should be limited."

FCPS administrator and parent here. There are no "contract hours." Teachers have a 7.5 hour work day. The above quote is directly from the regs.

I heard about the home visits from a colleague and then talked with the principal there.  We're going to try it at our school in a few weeks. Yes, a "Welcome Walk" or other home visit event would be a school-based decision and yes, there may be teachers that wouldn't be able to do the home visits.  It probably wouldn't work or might need some adjustments at an AAP center or immersion school where kids come from a wider area.  But if it's part of the culture of the school and, teachers see the immense value in it, they're excited to do it. I'm planning to feed them dinner (not pizza) and adjust their start time the next day. In the end, it's a win-win for everyone and starts the year off on the right foot for everyone. A friendly welcome at the start goes a long way in establishing a positive working relationship with students and families.  [/quote]
