The School recognizes that meeting the educational needs of students may occasionally require that staff members and faculty interact with them on an individual basis. Employees should observe the following guidelines when interacting with students:
- If a one-on-one meeting between an employee and a student is necessary, then they must occur at a time and place when others are present or where interactions can be easily observed (e.g. an open door, windowed room, etc.). Employees should refrain from being isolated with a single student.
- Teachers and staff members should not detain students after school unless it is to complete an assignment or to discuss a matter that cannot be postponed. In any case, prior parental approval and transportation arrangements must be confirmed.
- Employees should not travel alone in a car with one student.
- Employees must maintain appropriate educator-student boundaries.
