5. Communication

5.1 Email

Faculty is provided with an email address and signature (……….@chapelschool.com). The use of this tool must be strictly professional to communicate with parents, students, teachers and other departments. A majority of school information is communicated through email, and it should be checked regularly. The expectation is that teachers will verify internal communication throughout the day and reply as promptly as possible. Teachers must reply to students and parents emails within 24 hours.

5.2 Mailboxes

Teachers’ mailboxes are located in the Teachers’ Lounge. Pay stubs are placed in teachers’ mailboxes at the end of each month. Other school information is placed in the mailboxes on a regular basis.

5.3 Bulletin Board in Teacher’s Lounge

Communications about teacher pay, cesta-básica (food basket), vaccines, vacation schedules, and health insurance are published by the Financial and Administrative Directory and posted in the teachers’ lounge.

5.4 Telephone Usage

The telephones in the offices are for official use only. Local calls are unrestricted but should be made only when the teacher is off duty. To make a local call, dial 0 before the phone number. Long distance calls are allowed with permission from one’s Principal. Personal calls to cell phones will be charged. To place a call to a cell phone or long distance dial 9 and talk to the operator.

Students’ use of office phones (ECEC, ES, HS) is not permitted except when authorized by the secretary.
