Sachem School District Food Service Contacts

As a reminder to all employees - this procedure is required for ALL ABSENCES. In the event that you are unable to report to work as scheduled, you are required to telephone the Food Service Office (Betty Jane Wilken) AT 471-1353 AT 7:00 A.M., NOT BEFORE! Please do not leave a message if voice mail picks up.   Substitutes are assigned according to the needs of individual schools and your calling earlier does not guarantee your School getting a substitute. At that time, please indicate:

1. Your NAME
2. The SCHOOL to which you are assigned
3. The HOURS you are scheduled to work
4. The REASON for your absence
5. How LONG you expect to be out

If you do not know exactly how long you will be out when you call, then when you are ready and able to return to work, you MUST notify the Food Service Office before 1:00 P.M. on the day BEFORE you plan to return.

If we do not receive a call by 1:00 P.M., we will assume that you will be absent and will retain the SUBSTITUTE in your place. Should you report for work WITHOUT notifying the Food Service Office, YOU will be sent home and the SUBSTITUTE will work.

DO NOT rely on the COOK or another Food Service worker to tell us that you will be returning. YOU must call the Food Service Office.

As in the past, a Doctor's Note is required for any absence of three (3) or more days. The note must state that you are able to resume the FULL duties of a Food Service Worker which include HEAVY LIFTING. This note must be Hand-Delivered to the Food Service Office BEFORE you return to your building.
