-Conduct your class in an orderly manner. Please be aware of the noise level in your classroom so as not to disrupt the church office staff or other classes. Clean and straighten your room each hour before leaving.

-Prepare for the Closing Exercises if you are having a class display and/or presentation.
-Attend the Closing Exercises and lead your class during their presentation and/or set up & supervise your class display.
-Delegate as needed to the helpers who are assigned to your class. Let them know what you need them to do; they are there to help you, and they are willing.

Helpers are responsible for the following:
-Attend ECHO Registration.

-Help the teacher by doing what is asked or by meeting a need that you have observed.
-Help any child who asks for or needs your help; assist the teacher in keeping order in the classroom.
