We're heading into December in just a few short weeks. Before you know it winter break will be upon us. While the students and teachers rally for a position at the exit doors the day before break, what is our department preparing for?
Since we are 260 day employees, that means we are here throughout the year, less 13 paid holidays and scheduled vacations. Thus, during the winter break and others, we use that time to do extra cleaning, repairs and painting, incorporate some training at times and generally "catch up" where we've gotten behind due to the normal beehive of activity at the building. We're never idle. There's always plenty to do.
We appreciate the help that the staff provides and supports us with. They understand our challenge of keeping the buildings clean and maintained despite a lack of staffing. Thank you! As December 22 approaches, think about your time off and at some point during break at least allow our faces to drift through your mind knowing we will be there to support you when you return!
Educating custodians, school staff, students, parents and the public on the duties, responsibilities and needs of a school facility. Working to make the custodial department more understandable and hoping to engage the support and help of all who use the campus. Sharing information on several cleaning-related, health and custodial topics to enlighten readers and requesting input from all who peruse this blog.
