What CSSD Expects From Its Employees

Your first responsibility is to know your own duties and how to do them promptly, correctly and pleasantly. Secondly, you are expected to cooperate with CSSD Support Team and your fellow employees and maintain a good team attitude. How you interact with fellow employees and those whom The Charter School of San Diego serves, and how you accept direction can affect the success of your classroom/assignment. In turn, the performance of one classroom/assignment can impact the entire service offered by CSSD. Consequently, whatever your position, you have an important assignment: perform every task to the very best of your ability. The result will be better performance for CSSD, success for our students, and personal satisfaction for you.

You are encouraged to grasp opportunities for personal development that are offered to you. This manual offers insight on how you can positively perform to the best of your ability to meet and exceed CSSD expectations.

We believe in direct access to the management, which includes members of the Support Team and supervisors. We are dedicated to making CSSD an organization where you can approach your supervisor, or any member of the Support Team, to discuss any problem or question. We expect you to voice your opinions and contribute your suggestions to improve the quality of CSSD.

Remember, you help create the healthful, pleasant, and safe working conditions that CSSD intends for you. Your dignity and that of fellow employees, as well as that of our students, is important.

CSSD needs your help in making each working day enjoyable and rewarding.
