The Rosalyn Yalow Charter School opened September 1, 2015 with 212 students in grades K and 1, and will reach 536 students as a K-5 school in FY2019-20, our 5th year. Some of our school's key design elements include: qualified staff focused on at-risk students; a robust response-to-intervention team, consisting of special education and ESL teachers overseen by a director of assessment; a quality curriculum, consisting of Core Knowledge Language Arts, Singapore Math, and inquiry-based science; high-quality collaborators, including the Bronx Arts Ensemble for art, dance, and music, chess instructors, and fencing coaches; meticulous data-driven instruction, guided by STEP Literacy assessment and NWEA MAP for math.
The Operations team works to ensure the many aspects of running a school are in place so our students have an engaging environment to learn in, parents/guardians feel welcomed at all times and the instructional team has the resources they need to get their work done. We are looking for a Part-Time Building Aide to support operations of the school by performing various duties. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to gain experience in the administrative side of a school while still interacting with students. The Building Aides will report to the Operations Manager.
