How this role fits into the team

Each member of our team is essential to building a thriving culture that sees and calls out the image of God in our students and in one another. As we invite students to step into everything they are designed to be and do, our faculty and staff must also reflect and invest in our daily work of responding to God’s calling through an inner posture of discipline, diligence, and dedication. Donum Dei seeks a part time Teacher Assistant to help in the classroom of a lead teacher. This person will grow in the ability to teach an integrated, classical curriculum to our students.

Examples of such student supervision time would be for events such as: Parent Education Nights*, Back to School Night, Family Movie Night and Friendsgiving. 
• • For some events like our Parent Education Nights (PEN), we have hired childcare, but need additional support.
  • For some events like Friendsgiving, Back to School Night and Family Movie Night, students are on campus with their families, but we need help with outdoor security and roving building supervision during the event.
