[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. I had an early morning dentist appointment and was maybe an hour late to school but I had to take a half day off. When you only get to he personal day per year, it is ridiculous. I guess I'll be switching dentists since mine starts early and ends early so I can't go after school.  [/quote]

Doesn’t your school has someone on staff for this?  We have one school based staff member who covers for meetings or quick appointments. She will also  cover a full day is a sub cancels last minute. [/quote]

DP.  No, not in our school.  If you want to even leave 15 minutes early to get to a doctor appointment then you need to take a half-day.

One teacher on my wing recently had a family emergency (parent had a heart attack).  She has been with the system more than 10 years.  I don't remember the exact timing but I was told she alerted the principal, got quick coverage for her room (leaving work for the students) and then left the building less than 30 minutes before the end of the school day.  She was docked a full half-day of leave.  This is a teacher who is never late, she is always at school a good hour before the first bell and she always stays late.[/quote]
