General
All faculty, department and banked time professional development meetings are required as a part of the professional responsibilities for certificated staff.Included, as well, are parent evenings such as Back-to-School Night (fall semester) and Open House(spring semester) and PHBAO Parent Conferences.

Most meetings are held on Tuesday afternoons, although conference period meetings are held periodically in place of Tuesday afternoon meetings.

Some department and SLC meeting times may be held on days and at times determined by the department or SLC, with notification of the administrator working with that group.

Professional Development
Professional development sessions are planned each school year.These sessions are held on shortened, minimum and banked time Tuesdays.Two pupil free days are allocated each year, during which three hours of professional development may be planned.Since professional development and faculty meetings are scheduled for Tuesday afternoons sometimes until 4:20 p.m., please schedule after school appointments for other days.
