All personnel of the Cameron Parish School Board shall be responsible for the supervision of pupils during the school day and for a reasonable period of time before and after school. Every staff member must share the responsibility of supervising pupils during regular class periods, while pupils are moving to and from classrooms during the school day, to and from the restrooms and assemblies, and while on campus before and after school.

The School Board expects all students to be under assigned adult supervision at all times when they are in school, on school grounds, traveling under school auspices, or engaging in school-sponsored activities.  No administrator, teacher or other staff member shall leave his/her assigned group unsupervised except when arrangements have been made to take care of an emergency or other unforeseen occurrence.
