Recess duty is a teacher's assigned responsibility to supervise students during recess.
Teachers rotate through this obligation, monitoring the playground to prevent injuries and resolve conflicts: I have recess duty on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The term belongs to the informal vocabulary of elementary school staff.
