Office Etiquette• If you happen to be a smoker there is usually a place
outside of the teachers office, or in a separate room in the back where smoking is permitted
• If you need or want to talk on your keitei step out of the office to speak
• There are usually one or two computers with internet access. Be considerate of other teachers • When winter comes be careful not to blow your nose in public. This is considered very rude.
• Anytime you or co-worker go out of town it is customary to bring back a small gift for everyone in the office• ALWAYS greet people as you walk into the office and leave the office for the evening
