Meet
the School Staff
Adrian H. Cline,
Superintendent
In addition to the teachers at your child’s
school, there are many other staff members who provide services for your
children. Most of these people will
influence your child’s life at one time or another. If you do not know the other members of the
school family, make a mental note to get to know as many of these people as you
can. Start with the following list:
§ The school secretaries
(office professionals) are the first people a student or parent encounters upon
entering the school office. They help
students and parents with questions and problems, keep attendance records, and
perform many tasks that help children and staff throughout the school day.
§ The principal serves as the
instructional leader and helps the school family work together to provide the
best possible education for children. The assistant principal is an essential
member of the administrative team.
§ The school nurse helps when
children are sick or injured.
§ The school librarian or
media specialist helps instill a love of reading.
§
The school counselor guides students and parents in making
important decisions.
§ Paraprofessionals assist
teachers and provide more individual attention for students. They also help supervise children in the
cafeteria, on the playground, or on the bus.
§ Custodians work at
keeping the school in good condition. They also keep the buildings and surrounding
grounds clean and safe.
§ Transportation staff
members are the bus drivers who take children safely to and from school and
provide transportation for extracurricular activities. The bus drivers are also responsible for the
safety and cleanliness of the buses.
§ Food service staff
members prepare and serve hot, nutritious meals to the children each day.
Obviously, your child’s educational
experiences are not confined to the classroom.
The whole school family works together to provide students a quality
education, and you and your child will benefit from your efforts to become
acquainted with these staff members.
