Daily duties vary based on school needs, but may include:

  • Assisting with arrival and dismissal
  • Eating lunch with your child
  • Supporting learning in classrooms
  • Helping supervise recess and other activities

If you have specific skills or interests you’d like to share, please let us know—we are happy to work with you to make the most of your time and talents.
