Duties also involve planning recreational activities and coordinating transportation for school functions, with housing provided and extended on-duty blocks balanced with time off. The position requires energy, empathy, patience, organizational ability, teamwork, and a commitment to equity, inclusion, and respect in a multicultural setting. Training and professional development are offered in areas like child development, behavior management, and trauma-informed practices.
