____________________________________________________
In the event of an emergency or when an unplanned absence arises one hour or less before your scheduled start time, please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Contact Debbie Lerner in the front office (Teachers) via phone at 925-682-7474 X3114 to notify her of your absence AND your direct supervisor (Classified Employees)
Step 2: Send lesson plans via email to Debbie Lerner at debbie.lerner@claytonvalley.org
If the absence arises after 6:30 a.m., the Front Office staff will need to enter the absence into Helios for you.
If you will arrive after your scheduled start time and coverage for your class is needed, you will be deducted from your sick leave in 15-minute increments (Certificated Teachers ONLY). Hourly employees will be docked from their pay for any work time missed due to late arrivals. Please check in with the front office upon your arrival.
Repeated unplanned absences/late arrivals that negatively impact CVCHS may result in discipline as outlined in the CVCA/CVEA CBA.
In the event you know you will be absent/late in advance (e.g., conference, doctor’s appointment, union business, etc.), please complete a Requisition in Helios. This is automatically submitted to your director/supervisor for approval. To ensure fairness to your colleagues, please provide adequate notice for planned absences, at minimum 48-hours.
Whenever coverage is needed due to School Business (Conferences/Field Trips) please refer to our Field Trip & Conference/Workshop Protocol on our Staff Resource Pages.
