In the last year alone we have seen an explosion in the number of visitors finding their way to the West Warwick Public Schools. We have had visitors from nearby districts, and from across the country. In an effort to provide the right supports to students and our employees Superintendent Tarasevich would like school employees to fill-out the following form whenever a visitor or presenter is coming to a WWPS school. This form will keep central office apprised of the good work taking place in the schools, and allow us to support your work. It really is a wonderful problem to have, and is directly related to the incredible teaching and learning taking place across the district. This form doesn't negate your responsibility to clear all visitors with building principals so please make sure they are in the communication loop. Thanks for your cooperation regarding this request.
Regards,
Jim
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Original Email to Staff
Q: Should I fill-out the form for past visitors?A: It's not necessary to fill-out the form for past visitors, but the information will be helpful to have on hand. We will leave that completely up to you to decide.
Q: Does this pertain to parent volunteers/visitors or volunteers that visit my classroom on a regular basis?
A: No, you do not need to fill-out the form for parent volunteers or parent visitors. It is also not necessary to fill-out the form for classroom volunteers. Classroom volunteers have already gone through an approval process.
Q: Do teachers still have to go through their building level principal as the first step in the process for getting approval for a visitor or presenter?
A: Absolutely. Teachers should include the principal in the early stages of the discussion process. Teachers can fill-out the form, and their principal will get alerted to the request. Teachers should proceed to have a face to face discussion with their principal regarding the request.
