  Case: Disruptions to the Classroom
How do you deal with interruptions from the office, parents, administration, custodians and others while you are trying to teach a lesson?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It depends on the type of interruptions those coming from office staff could be important such as a change in dismissal which a student needs to hear also best handled with treats and a smile, inform them personally that you think it would be best for your students if interruptions not concerning dismissal be sent by email any other way is a learning distraction. When it comes to the custodian as the classroom teacher you can tell the custodian when and when not to come into your classroom because some like to start cleaning earlier so they can leave earlier. For parents you could send out a mass email explaining when it is best to communicate with them is, and express that any other time is a distribution that will effect their student's learning which will effect their grade which will effect their graduation status. If all else fails create an interruption brain break. Where students can pull out a favorite book, coloring sheet or assign a student as interruption leader and have them direct a student game so they will be occupied until the interruption is over.
