[LM_NET] SMALL ELEMentary School Schedules----target

[Robert <rajoyce59@VERIZON.NET>]

I am wanting to hear from  ELEMENTARY SLMS who work in a small school of not 
over 20 teachers with around 300 kids with regards to what their written 
schedule (on PAPER) says when not meeting/seeing classes.  I have a new 
principal this year and I expect a change to my schedule next school year. 
She is open to suggestions and ideas and want to have some I can mull over 
as school year progresses and see how they can fit into my personal 
situation.    I am needing named duties ( examples: 
clerical/administrative/non-instructional) that fulfill a day. Looking for 
duties/tasks/responsibilities  other than "clerical" and "planning" and 
"remediation/tutoring/intervention". Currently, I see each class weekly for 
circulation ( 12 classes) THEN I see one class from each grade ( 7 classes) 
another time for "call back" instruction only each week to total 19 classes 
each week. I am looking for creative wording  and 
tasks/duties/responsibilities (which I might have overlooked) to fulfill the 
empty space and time.  With all of the extra time, I would much rather be in 
the library being useful than being assigned to a teacher. Small school SLMS 
get "overused"  (abused?)  with all the extra space  and time in their 
schedule.

thanks for any ideas you can share.  I checked LM NET archives,
