SCHOOL ACTIVITIES It is not mandatory that you attend the high school activities. It is the opinion of the administration, though, that if you do not, then you are going to lose the respect of some students. The teacher that takes an interest in the student, both in the classroom and the activities outside the classroom, will find the student more receptive to your ideas and interests. Extra duty functions (ticket taking, running score clocks, etc.), will be compensated at the rate of $25.00 per event. SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES All staff members should familiarize themselves to Special Education services. A few minutes with the Special Education Director will help you understand the services that may be offered. All staff members should refer to the appendix for understanding steps in communication for Special Education Services. Teachers for grades 9-12 should refer to the appendix for procedures used for high school credit for a resource room course. GUIDANCE SERVICES The guidance program has been developed to provide the students of Hartington-Newcastle Public Schools with academic counseling, career counseling and personal counseling. Academic counseling assists students in the selection of courses and monitor students' progress through the school year. Career counseling involves the assessment of students' interests and abilities in relation to the of work. Other resources are available to all students to aid in career development. Personal counseling involves providing assistance to students in order to help them make better decisions, establish better use of their resources and to make adjustments to life's demands that are satisfying to both themselves and to society. PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS All professional teachers should feel privileged to be given the opportunity to join and support their own professional organizations. The administration asks that all meetings for H.E.A. be held before 8:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. on school days (except with prior approval of the Superintendent) TEACHING AS A CAREER The very fact that you have chosen teaching as a career indicates that you are willing to assume a high degree of self-discipline. Every teacher will find it sometime requires extra effort to control tempers, emotions and prejudices. Students have a tendency to goad teachers both in and out of school and it is sometimes very hard to set a good example in these trying situations. There is no place in the teaching profession for an individual who cannot command respect for his personal conduct.
