Job Description

Special Education Instructional Assistant (PALS) – Eagle Rock Elementary

Eagle Point School District 9 (EPSD9) is seeking a compassionate, flexible, and student-centered Special Education

Instructional Assistant to join the PALS Program at Eagle Rock Elementary. This vital classified position supports students

with diverse needs, helping them access their education through personalized and structured support,

teamwork, and a strong commitment to student growth.

About Eagle Point School District 9

Located in the scenic Rogue Valley of southern Oregon, EPSD9 serves the communities of Eagle Point, White City,

and surrounding rural areas. With students across the district, we offer the best of both

worlds—tight-knit school communities and access to bigger-city amenities.

Our schools focus on preparing all students for success in life

beyond the classroom.

About the Role

The Special Education Instructional Assistant will work closely with the Special Education Teacher and classroom team

to implement individualized supports and services outlined in students' IEPs. This includes providing academic,

behavioral, and functional support; assisting with personal care needs; and maintaining accurate documentation and

communication with the team. This role requires someone who is responsive, patient, and not

afraid to roll with the unpredictable nature of special education.

Assignments are based on student need and may include working one-on-one, in small groups,

or in inclusive classroom settings. You'll play a key role in helping students with disabilities grow

academically, socially, and emotionally—sometimes with paperwork in hand

and a walkie-talkie in your pocket.

Who We're Looking For

EPSD9 is searching for someone who believes all students can learn and thrive—especially with the right support.

The ideal candidate will be collaborative, proactive, and confident in working with students who may require physical assistance,

behavioral redirection, or personal care. Qualified applicants will have a high school diploma or equivalent, be able to complete

or already hold CPR/First Aid and CPI certifications, and have either two years of college credit, an associate's degree,

or the ability to pass the district's assessment in reading, writing, and math.
