Educational Assistants/Part-Time: Educational Assistants are a vital asset for our educational program.  Educational Assistants are expected to uphold and model the Catholic Identity of the school. Educational Assistants work for and take direction form the teacher(s) to whom they are assigned as well as Principal.  It is essential the Educational Assistant and Classroom Teacher have open communication to identify tasks that need to be completed and what support “looks like” when providing student support.

Major Responsibilities and Regular Activities:

– Monitor bathroom areas during class times, as needed or directed by teacher.

– Be available to pick up students if teachers are in a meeting or are called to watch students in another classroom.
– Use discretion when notifying a student that they are requested to go to the office or to see someone such as a Counselor.
– Be respectful when notifying teachers of office requests when it is necessary to interrupt instruction.
– Educational Assistants are privileged to confidential information about a student, the student’s family, or a situation that requires confidentiality.  Staff members entrusted with this knowledge must be ethical and professional.  It is important that this information be held in confidence.  Breaches of confidentiality are subject to consequences up to and including termination.
