Teacher's Aide Responsibility
- Take attendance. You must then check your absentee list against the student listing in Room 11.
- If a student is signed in but they aren't in their assigned class, YOU MUST start proceedings to locate that child!
- Check the white notebook of student schedules to see what class the child was in last; go to that class to see if the child is still there (finishing up a project or assignment), if not, ask the teacher if she knows where the student is. Ask who her aide was that walked students to their classes. Check with that mom to see where the missing student may be.
- Notify moms in Room 11 and Nursery that you are trying to locate the child and get them to help you search bathrooms, lunchroom, other classrooms, etc.
- If you can't locate the child, look up student's family emergency form in the white 3-ring binder and call their parent.
- Always walk students from one location to another.
- Take students (below middle-school age) to the bathroom. You must walk them to the bathroom; you may wait in the hall for older children, or go in with same sex younger children.

- Start lining students up according to their next class before the end of class time. You must walk each group of students (under middle-school age) to their next class. You may not send a group of 5 students on to class without an adult. If a teacher is not present in the class you are taking them to, do not leave the students alone in the classroom.
