What is a Buddy Teacher?

1. You and your Buddy Teacher are assigned to each other by Mr. Boles and it will usually be the teacher with the classroom nearest to yours.

2. You and your Buddy should expect to perform the following services for each other:

* when you have afternoon duty you will send your Advisory students to your Buddy when the first bell rings so you can go outside to your duty station

* during a fire or tornado drill (and especially in case of a true emergency), as you are leaving you should verify that your Buddy is okay and appears to have all his/her students under control

* if your Buddy should be injured, you would take charge of his/her students - for this reason you and your Buddy should each have a copy of the other's rosters in his/her purple emergency backpack

* if you have a meeting during Advisory, any of your students not involved in that meeting would go to your Buddy's room

3. If you don't know who your Buddy is, find out from Mr. Boles... and then take some time to get to know this very important person!

Hope This Helps

I'm pretty good about adding informative links, and pretty bad about actually writing the blog part. :)
