INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Dawson ISD High School Teacher Handbook is to provide an
overview of the essential policies, procedures, protocols, and general information in
order to facilitate a successful school year for all stakeholders. This document does
not include all district policies or procedures, and those included herein are
summarized.
This handbook is neither a contract nor a substitute for the official Dawson ISD
policy manual. It is not intended to alter the status of at-will employees. It is rather
intended to serve as a guide and brief explanation; for more detailed information,
employees should refer to the Dawson ISD Board Policy Manual available on campus
during regular working hours.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of DISD is to provide each student a meaningful, challenging education,
delivered in a safe learning environment that prepares him or her to be a capable,
productive, and contributing citizen.
DAWSON JR. & SR. HIGH SCHOOL GOALS
Create a safe learning environment
Raise Academic Success of our students
Create a welcoming campus for Parents and Community Members
Make sure all students are connected to something or someone on campus
Reduce discipline with firm and consistent actions
ANNOUNCEMENTS
High School announcements are made over the public address system located in the front office.
Most of the announcements will be made at the beginning of 2nd
period of each school day; these
general information or daily announcements must be submitted on the proper form with a teacher’s
signature to the High School Receptionist on the day before they are to be announced.
Announcements made during the school day must have Principal’s permission before being
conducted, please note that interruptions of class will only be for special circumstances.
Emergency announcements may be made at any time during the school day at the discretion of
Dawson ISD Administration.
8
ATTENDANCE OF STUDENTS
A student must be given the opportunity to make up work due to any absence. Students
will be allowed a minimum of 3 days to make up assignments.
Please keep the office informed of students’ consecutive and/or excessive absences in your
class.
Parents will be notified by mail when their student has accumulated excessive absences
during a semester (3 or more).
Students 10 or more unexcused absences in a 6 month period will face truancy charges
against them.
A teacher may not permit a student to leave the campus for any reason without official
permission from the parent and proper authorization through the principal’s office.
A teacher may not request a student be released from another class for any reason other than
approved field trips. Fund raising, performance practice, etc., are not appropriate release
activities.
ATTENDANCE OF TEACHERS
Students are potentially denied valuable instructional learning on any occasion that requires
a substitute teacher, regardless of the substitute’s qualifications. Research indicates that in
the education of public school students there are but a few things as significant as continuity
to student success. Therefore, please make every effort to be here every day. In the event of
illness, emergency, or personal business, it is initially the teacher’s responsibility to ensure
that classes are covered appropriately.
Information readily available for substitute teachers should include daily attendance rolls,
schedule of classes, special duties, fire drill instructions, seating charts,
accommodations/modifications for students with special needs, lesson plans, etc.; it is the
regular teacher’s responsibility to prepare a folder that contains this information for
substitute teachers.
Teachers who are unable to attend school as a result of illness must inform Linda
Matthews, 903.879.5116, by 7:30 am on the day of illness; furthermore, teachers out ill
should phone in their status for the following day by 2:30 p.m. on the day of illness.
Failure to report either anticipated return to duty or additional leave status will result in the
retention of a substitute teacher for the following day.
Teachers who may need to leave their duties prior to the end of a given school day due to an
emergency must arrange to have their remaining classes covered through the High School
Principal. I will cover for you up to 90 minutes if you need to leave campus.
All teachers should be on campus by 7:30 am (7:20 A.M. IF ON DUTY) and remain on
campus until 3:45 p.m. each day unless other appropriate arrangements have been made with
administration.
Please make the principals aware of any situation for which you may need to leave
campus.

immunizations.

properly labeled with specific directions. A note from the parent must accompany the
medication giving permission for school personnel to administer.
OVER THE COUNTER: The medicine must appear in the original container with
directions on the label. A note from the parents and doctor is required. The doctor’s note
must include specific directions such as the medicine name, dosage and time to be given.

encounter should be a positive one with general introductions.
The office personnel will continue to make every effort to inform each faculty member
when a parent/guardian has made an inquiry or needs information or wants to have a
conference with a teacher. The office personnel will place notes in the mailbox
immediately. You are encouraged to respond as soon as possible to the message request.

ADVISORY SQUAD
Advisory Squad is a program implemented to bring teachers and parents together for the interest of the
students at Dawson Jr. & Sr. High School. Teachers are encouraged to advocate through Advisory
squads. The purpose of Advisory squads is to ensure that our students have a mentor on campus that
they or their parents can contact other than the usual office personal to get answers and check up on
their students. Your campus requirements are as follows:
To give every parent a personable contact at the school
To foster a one-on-one relationship between every student and his/her family
To monitor attendance
To monitor discipline
To ensure that Dawson Jr. & Sr. High School is fulfilling its role in monitoring student success
To obtain correct parent contact information

Do not leave your class unattended to make copies.
COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE The counselor is available to counsel with students about career choices, school work, course
selection, personal problems, higher education, aspirations and any other problems or concerns that
may arise.
Counseling and guidance services are available both to the students and to parents. Students may
see the counselor by prearranged appointments. Parents may call for appointments.
12
DRESS CODE
All staff will help enforce the student dress code. If questions arise, please contact the principal for
clarification.
EMPLOYEE DRESS CODE:
The dress and grooming of Dawson ISD employees shall be clean, neat, in a manner appropriate for
their assignments, and in accordance with any additional standards established by their supervisors
and approved by the Superintendent. Dress and grooming shall conform to the following
guidelines:
1. Clean and neatly pressed shirts, slacks, and suits shall be considered acceptable attire for
men.
2. Clean and neatly pressed dresses, slacks, skirts, and blouses shall be considered acceptable
attire for women.
3. All skirts shall come to the knee. Pants/capris may not be shorter than 5” above the ankle.
4. Wind suits shall not be permitted. Principals may make exceptions for workdays (not for
professional staff development days), field trips, or other school activities or specific job
assignments or conditions when informal attire is deemed more appropriate.
5. Jeans shall be permitted on Fridays, and should be free of holes and scuff marks.
6. Women’s clothing should not be revealing in cut, style, or material, and will have sleeves.
Tight fitting clothing is not permissible, and cleavage must be covered at all times.
7. Coaching shorts without cover-ups shall be worn only during physical education
instructional periods. During classroom instruction, PE/coaching staff must follow the
employee dress code.
8. Hair shall be clean and well groomed. Moustaches and beards are allowed if neatly
trimmed. Moustaches shall not extend past the corners of the mouth. Sideburns shall not
extend beyond the middle of the ear. Hair length for men shall be above the bottom of a
dress shirt collar.
9. Hats and caps shall not be worn in District buildings.
10. Ked-type shoes and sandals are allowed if they are clean and well kept. Dress casual shoes
are appropriate. Rubber or plastic footwear and flip flops are not permissible. Flip flops are
considered to be shoes which have a thong between the toes, sole of ½” or less, and are
rubber or plastic. If your shoes meet two of the three criteria, they are flip flops. “Crocs”
are not acceptable footwear for employees.
11. At all times, staff members should be in professional-looking attire, not casual.
12. Principals shall determine if dress and grooming are professionally appropriate.
13
DRILLS
Fire, Lock-Down, Bad Weather, Campus Evacuation, & Site Evacuation drills will be
conducted throughout the year.
See Campus Crisis Pan for details of each drill.
HALL PASSES
Each Teacher will be provided a Hall Pass for students to use.
Students in the Hall without a hall pass will be escorted back to the class.
Students are not to be told to simply leave (i.e. get out) and be permitted to wander the
halls or hide for the remainder of the class period. If it becomes necessary to remove a
student from your class, a referral must accompany the student to the office.
A student may be put in the hall for the moment for the teacher to settle the remaining class,
assign work, and/or privately “conference” with the student in the hall. YOU MAY NOT
PERMIT A STUDENT TO REMAIN IN THE HALL FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD
AS A DISCIPLINARY MEASURE. A STUDENT IN THE HALL OFTEN
DISRUPTS THE INSTRUCTION OF THE NEIGHBORING CLASSES.
LESSON PLANS
Teachers are required to turn in up-to-date lesson plans online via email.
Good planning is essential to ensure quality instruction for our students. It is suggested that each
class period begin with a Bell or Sponge activity in order to maximize instructional time and set a
tone of learning from the moment students enter class. The following procedure will be used to
collect and monitor plans:
Individual teachers may submit a copy of a current lesson plan to the Principal online (via
email) by 8:00 am on Mondays. Lesson plans may be turned in either two weeks or one
week increments.
LIABILITY Do not leave your class unsupervised. Get a neighboring teacher to watch or call the office to have someone come watch student.
We are liable for the safety and welfare of the students at Dawson High School. PLEASE DO
NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED STUDENTS FOR WHOM YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE. It is
imperative that we arrive on time for classes and all assigned duties. Do not abandon your
classroom or other duties to take care of personal matters. Should an emergency arise, teachers
must notify the office immediately.
14
SECURITY
Each staff member should do the following when a visitor enters the building:
1. Greet the visitor.
2. Ask the visitor if he/she needs assistance.
3. Direct the visitor (including any who wishes to visit with a particular staff person or
persons) to the main office for a visitor’s pass, if they are not wearing one.
4. Observe that the visitor is proceeding to the proper destination.
5. Go to the nearest telephone to report to an administrator/security the refusal of a visitor
to comply with our directions (indicate his/her destination or if any doubt exists about
the visitor’s intentions). Go to the nearest classroom and ask a student to notify an
administrator if contact is not made by telephone.
FUNDRAISING
No faculty member or jr. & sr. high school student, individually or as a club or organization, may solicit money from merchants or individuals in the community for any activity without approval from the principal. All fundraising activities must be approved by the principal and within school board guidelines. There will be no collection of money or sales on campus by a non-school group. All approved fundraising activities will be placed on the principal’s calendar.
MOVIE REQUEST FORM Only movies with an educational purpose should be shown at Dawson Jr. & Sr. High School. Movie request must be approved by the Principal prior to showing. Videos that came with your curriculum or on United Streaming do not need a request form.
TUTORING
Tutoring must be made available for any student who is failing or is in danger of failing a class. It
is the teacher’s responsibility to offer tutoring sessions and to post the times and days appropriately.
Teacher D-Hall/Zeros
Teachers are required to assign Teacher D-hall for minor discipline issues and failure
to complete assignments. Teachers will need to make a phone call to parents about
missing assignments and assign Teacher D-Hall before issuing a zero in the
gradebook.
Students who fail to attend Teacher D-Hall will receive a referral slip to the principal
office.
15
HIGH SCHOOL/ JUNIOR HIGH TARDY POLICY
Students are tardy to class when they are not in the room when the bell rings.
Teachers may not count students tardy due to them not being seated when the bell
rings
Students tardy to a class must be admitted to class with a tardy slip from the office.
Tardy Discipline will be handled by the principal as followed:

Classroom Discipline Procedures
All teachers will follow the Classroom Discipline Procedure & document using the Discipline Documentation form.
Classroom Discipline Procedure
1. Intervention/verbal warning/counsel by teacher & documentation 2. Parent contact and teacher D-hall & documentation 3. Additional parent contact and teacher D-hall & documentation 4. Office referral for continued misbehavior or progression of misbehavior after all
previous steps taken
Teachers will hold their own d-hall. D-hall forms will be provided for you to complete. You will give to the student and retain copy for your documentation. All disciplinary actions must be documented on the Discipline Documentation form which is provided. Once an office referral is made, the discipline form is your documentation of actions taken to correct the behavior of that student.
Some behaviors have been identified that require an automatic office referral. In these cases, teachers
should fill out an office referral form without needing to go through the steps of the classroom discipline
procedure. Upon sending a student to the office, teachers must submit a discipline referral to the
appropriate discipline administrator. These behaviors are our common discipline issues or, this list is not
all inclusive. Obviously, if a student commits a serious offense (see student Code of Conduct) an
automatic office referral is necessary. These will be posted in every classroom.
Behaviors Requiring Automatic Office Referral
Cheating Skipping class Uncorrectable or consistent dress code violation Fighting or confrontational behavior Profanity/Racial Slurs in class Refusing to surrender electronic devices Vandalism or defacing school property Non-compliance/defiance Refusal to attend teacher D-hall Public displays of affection
**Zero tolerance is supported for misbehavior with any substitute teacher, custodian, cafeteria worker, or secretary. In other words, these staff members do not need to follow the classroom discipline procedures before referring a student to the office.

T-TESS includes three components:
