- Float into classrooms as needed to support teachers and children throughout the day.
- Build positive relationships with families and help foster a strong school community.
- Partner closely with the Head of School and Assistant Head of School to ensure smooth daily operations.
- Learn the operational and leadership responsibilities that prepare you for future school leadership opportunities.
