Electrolytes for Teachers & School Staff
BUILT FOR THE
LAST bell.
On your feet all day, talking nonstop, and no bathroom break until the kids are gone. Here's how Redi fits a school day — and the practice after it.
What the job takes
NO BREAK UNTIL
THE bell.
Teaching doesn't look like a sweaty job from the outside. But between the talking, the standing, and the schedule, most teachers finish the day running on empty.
Talking All Day
Hours of teaching, projecting over a full room, dries you out. Voice-care advice for teachers almost always starts in the same place: keep drinking water through the day.
No Bathroom Break on Demand
You can't leave a room of kids alone, so plenty of teachers drink less to avoid needing a break. By last period, it shows.
Hot Rooms and Outdoor Duty
Not every classroom has reliable air conditioning, especially in late summer and early fall. Recess, bus, and car-line duty happen outside in the sun, and sodium leaves with the sweat.
Which one, when
MORNINGS VS.
afternoons.
Both have the same five electrolytes. For teachers, the dividing line is lunch: caffeine belongs before it, and everything after the bell is caffeine-free.
Replenish
Your every-day stick.
Reach for it
- At lunch or during your planning period
- The afternoon slump, in place of a second coffee
- Outdoor duty, recess, or coaching in the heat
- Evening grading, when you still need to sleep
Amplify
Before the first bell.
Reach for it
- Before first period, in place of your coffee
- One stick per day, maximum
Skip it
- After lunch. You'll still feel it at bedtime.
- On days with outdoor duty or practice in the heat
- If you're pregnant, nursing, or sensitive to caffeine
- On top of coffee from the staff room
Keep it in your bag, not on your desk. Amplify isn't for anyone under 18. Store your sticks where students can't reach them, and don't share them with students.
What it looks like
A DAY, mapped.
A regular teaching day and a day that ends with practice outside. The difference is the morning: if heat is coming, the caffeine stays home.
Before the first bell, in place of your coffee.
Refill during your planning period.
Lunch, if you get the whole thing.
Sips between classes to keep your voice going.
Bus or car-line duty, then the drive home.
Start with a full bottle. No Amplify today, since practice is outside in the heat.
With lunch.
Before practice starts.
Water breaks with the team. Your athletes copy what they see.
Dinner, grading, and sleep. Nothing caffeinated today.
Times are examples, not rules. Drink water throughout, and on any day with outdoor duty in the heat, trade the morning Amplify for Replenish.
In the classroom
MAKING IT work.
Keep sticks in your bag or a locked drawer.
They're sealed and single-serve, so they're easy to keep on hand and easy to keep away from students.
Pre-mix before the first bell.
A bottle that's already mixed and on your desk gets finished. One you mean to make at lunch usually doesn't.
Use passing periods.
A few sips between every class adds up faster than one big drink at lunch.
Set up a bathroom buddy.
Trade two-minute coverage with the teacher next door. Drinking enough is a lot easier when you know you can step out.
