New Student Aide Pilot Program a Success!
Two of Mrs. Dumpert’s students are piloting a new Student Aide program. The students are being utilized by teachers in classrooms to help with various duties such as making copies, organizing work spaces, cleaning, alphabetizing and filing, etc. They have also become reading buddies to several students. The student aides spent their first week learning various skills they will need so they are able to work without much assistance from their cooperating teachers. Both have completed a semester of Leadership Skills class with Mrs. Dumpert, so they are prepared to speak with teachers effectively, ask pertinent questions, and follow directions easily. Teacher feedback has been very positive and complimentary of these students and the pilot program.
