WELL-BEING — Teacher and Staff Right to Disconnect

TEACHER AND STAFF RIGHT TO DISCONNECT

At NAPA we have teachers and staff who are working long hours at the studio, and most also have jobs outside the studio. We believe that all staff have the right to disconnect from work outside of their professional hours, which includes the expectation that parents respect their personal time by refraining from messaging staff on private social media or personal phones. Educators work tirelessly throughout their work day and often dedicate additional hours to lesson planning, class preparation, and professional development. However, it is essential that they also have a healthy work-life balance. By respecting boundaries and communicating through designated channels during appropriate hours, parents can help ensure teachers are able to recharge and maintain their well-being, ultimately benefiting both educators and students. Encouraging this mutual respect fosters a more positive, sustainable studio environment. If your child’s teacher has given permission for you to contact them on alternative forms of communication, please ensure that you are still respecting healthy boundaries and allowing them to disconnect in their downtime.

If you are unsure on best ways to communicate, please see below for teacher emails.
