Classroom Aides Needed After getting school off to a very smooth start this year, the one area I am really concerned about is the number of classroom aide positions that remain unfilled. We have advertised in the newspapers and at the local colleges. We have announced the need at our PTA meetings and throughout our volunteer parent community. The rest of the faculty members who do have aides are doing with less time than is normal just to be able to share some time with those who have none. This is a mark of how the Neil Cummins faculty works together, but the solution lies in finding more high-quality individuals who would be interested in working with our teachers for the benefit of our students.
Times are pretty flexible.
We have a couple of 2-hour positions open for the afternoon kindergartens and six others that could be morning or afternoon assignments. At this point, I ask the parent community to redouble its efforts to inform friends of these part-time employment opportunities. You have always been our best source of competent, reliable people who enjoy working with students in the school environment. Often, retired people find this a good way to stay active in helping others. If you should know of someone who might be interested, please have him or her call the school at 927-6965 and speak with Lyndia, Stacy or me.
