Free and reduced lunch applications are a problem. Filling them out is a problem and a lot of parents can t afford that. It takes up to two months to process the applications and kids may not have the money at home to feed them for that time. They have to pay full price until the application is processed. They re processing the whole district.
Diversity is very prevalent.
I would love to be in the classroom more. I love working with the children and the glow and the smile when they accomplish something. I work the lunchroom and playground and aides room, running copies, doing little things, cutting out laminating for the teachers, putting books and packets together. My preference is to spend more time in the classroom. Paraprofessionals are needed in several different areas.
