Personal daily routine
One para whose plan is mostly the same every workday.
A single day that repeats Monday through Friday: arrival, classroom support blocks, time elsewhere, supervision, a break and dismissal, each with a location and your role.

What is included
- A schedule structure: a regular day from 7:45 AM–3:00 PM.
- Example duties, each marked Example in your draft until you review, change, or clear it.
- Editable times to the exact minute; nothing is rounded to a half hour.
- Print choice: Personal day. One readable daily sheet. Pocket cards work well where phones are not used during work. Every other print layout is available too.
What you change
- Your workdays and day start and end
- Each duty's exact times
- Rooms, groups and your role in each duty
- Your break times, as your school sets them
- Labels your school permits you to use for rooms, groups, and adults
What a starter is not
A starter is a schedule structure with fictional sample duties. It does not set staffing requirements, and it does not contain or create a student record.
Sample break times are placeholders. Use the break times your school sets; a starter does not describe anyone's break entitlement.
You review every example duty before anything becomes your current copy.
