Aldine I.S.D. Teacher Handbook - Aldine Independent School District

G. Individual campuses may select one day per week as a school spirit day. On that spirit day the staff
may deviate from the Aldine Dress Code. It will be permissible to wear jeans, tennis shoes and
approved collared shirts, which must have school colors and contain a school logo. Collarless tshirts
are not permitted with spirit attire. Men must wear spirit shirts tucked in. Jeans should not be
unduly faded. Jeans cannot be ripped or frayed. Pins and other accessories cannot be substituted for
the school logo. If you choose not to participate in school spirit day, regular school attire must be
worn.
H. Teachers who have lab or art classes must wear professional dress, but may wear a protective coat or
smock. Teachers who have vocational/career classes should dress appropriately and safely for their
lab class. This does not include the wearing of jeans. Khaki pants or work pants are appropriate.
VII. CLASS INTERRUPTIONS
A. Interruptions of class non-academic activities are to be severely limited. Use of the intercom for
other than emergency announcements is limited to one time per school day. Teachers and
administrators are to avoid class interruptions wherever possible. The privilege of planning activities
that take students from other teachers' classes is to be tightly controlled by the principal.
B. Any teacher desiring to take students from class for any activity must arrange through the principal's
office for such absence in advance, so that other teachers affected may plan their work, arrange for
students to make up work, and properly account for the student's absence.
C. Teachers are not to use class time to talk with salesmen, parents, or other non-school persons. If it
becomes necessary for a teacher to have a conference during his/her class time, the authorization will
come through the office and necessary arrangements will be made.

A parking lot has been provided for faculty and staff. All personnel are to park in the designated area.

involvement in helping keep halls, rooms, and the entire building clean.
