Staff and Student Visitor Expectations

• "Staff" refers to any personnel brought by a visiting school site.
• Staff and students are expected to adhere to the professional and behavioral expectations set by their school sites.
• Staff are to remain with students.
• If there is a student who would benefit from constant adult proximity, bring a chaperone or a staff member to remain with them.
• Students will conduct themselves in a polite and positive way to engage in learning. Visiting staff will monitor and assist students in maintaining behavior expectations.
