Nayatt School Lunch/Recess Monitors:
Nayatt is in need of lunch/recess monitors for the upcoming school year.
The role is from 11:15 AM-1 PM, usually 5 days per week, but some volunteers have split the position.
The monitors supervise lunch in the classroom for about 20 minutes or so depending on the grade level.
They also go out to recess to a designated area-playground, blacktop, basketball, etc. for about 25 minutes.
Please contact me at learnedt@barringtonschools.org if you are interested in helping us out in the upcoming school year.
It is a paid position, several of our Teacher Assistants started out as lunch/recess monitors.
Substitute Teachers:
The Barrington Public Schools will be recruiting for substitute teachers in the upcoming school year.
Please watch for information on School Spring RI.
Volunteers:
We will have volunteers in our schools.
They must be vaccinated and have a current BCI.

Volunteer opportunities include room parents, guest readers, math and reading buddies, etc.
At the K-3 level, volunteers will not start in classrooms until Oct. 1st
Mrs. Bertoncini will be working with her library volunteer coordinator and these volunteers will be starting the school year with us.
