Student Classroom Aides provide part-time support within CSSC. They assist with student supervision and daily routines in morning care, afternoon extended day, nap time coverage, and transitions. These roles are essential in maintaining a safe, nurturing, and well‑organized environment for preschool and elementary students.

• Arrive by 7:25 AM to clock in and prepare for student arrival.
• Set up tables with approved extended day materials (e.g., blocks, Legos, art supplies, games).
• Ensure that only materials marked for extended day use are accessible.
• Maintain a calm, supervised indoor environment (playground is closed during AM extended day).
• Guide students with breakfast routines (eat first, then play).
• Begin clean‑up at 8:10 AM; ensure all students participate and that materials are properly stored.
• Escort elementary students to Room 107 at 8:15 AM and supervise until 8:20 AM (students must always be supervised).
• Escort preschool students to their classrooms following the elementary group.
• Maintain active supervision and avoid cell phone use unless explicitly permitted by a teacher.

• Accompany students walking to their classrooms.

• Provide active supervision during unstructured playtime both indoors and on the playground.
• Remain attentive and mobile, positioning yourself to always see and support students.
• Enforce playground safety rules: slide feet‑first only; no climbing up slides; swing safely front‑to‑back only; no rocks, sticks, mulch throwing; or unsafe behaviors; preschool students only on bikes/scooters with helmets.
• Snack Time (4:30 – 4:45 PM): serve dry snack foods and water; monitor handwashing before snack; snack is only for enrolled preschool and elementary students; students may take snack if picked up during this time; if approached by a parent about a child’s day, notify a classroom teacher—do not discuss student performance.
• Begin final clean‑up at 5:00 PM; offer quiet activities (e.g., Legos, coloring) to simplify end‑of‑day transitions.
• At 5:30 PM, stack chairs and wipe down tables with disinfecting wipes.

• Assist students in preparing for rest with personal items (blanket, pillow, stuffed animal).
• Support teachers during story time and help settle students.

• Support students as they begin to wake up at around 2:15 PM.
• Always maintain direct supervision of students.
• Use of cell phones during work time is strictly prohibited unless approved by a supervisor.
• Demonstrate responsibility, maturity, and professionalism in all interactions with students, families, and staff.
