Cafeteria/recess assistants are required to work 2.5 hours per day, five days per week. The hours on a typical day are from 11:00AM to 1:30PM. Those times will change slightly on single session days. The responsibilities of a cafeteria and recess assistant include monitoring the students and maintaining order, as well as taking the students outside or to their classrooms for a period of recess. The ability to positively interact with students and staff is a requirement. Safety of the students, both inside and outside, is the number one priority.
