This handbook guides LAVA staff through digital platforms, classroom management, and school procedures. It covers Google Classroom, WebEx, GoGuardian, lesson plans, ILPs, SSTs, sub plans, supply orders, and field trips.
This document is the LAVA Staff Handbook, a practical guide for teachers and staff at LAVA school. It explains how to set up and manage the digital tools used for teaching and communication, and it walks through the school's administrative procedures for the school year.
The handbook opens with a table of contents and lists key personnel, including the principal, secretaries, and tech support. The first sections cover Google Classroom setup, naming conventions, adding support staff as teachers, and security settings to control student posting and comments.
Detailed instructions are provided for WebEx virtual meetings, including scheduling, recurring sessions, lobby and mute settings, and adding co-hosts. The GoGuardian section explains how to import classes, set the default scene, and schedule monitoring sessions, with notes on syncing student rosters from Google Classroom.
The handbook then covers lesson plan requirements, including where to store digital copies, and the process for creating Intervention Learning Plans (ILPs) for students with low grades or attendance issues. It also explains the SST meeting process and how to prepare for these meetings.
For absences, the handbook details how to enter leave in Frontline and UKG, attach sub plans, and add substitutes to WebEx and GoGuardian. It also outlines the supply order process, from email requests to approval and delivery, and notes that field trips are covered in a later section.
