AUSD Notes: Various full-, part-time jobs available in the Alameda schools

We in the in the Alameda Unified School District would like to extend the happiest of Happy New Year greetings to the Alameda community and a genuine thank-you, as always, for the many ways you help our students, staff, and families.

School districts cannot thrive without the support of their communities, and just as this district prides itself on being a good neighbor, so too are we ever-grateful for the neighborly way this community treats its district. On that note, we want to be sure our community knows of the AUSD jobs available right now.

We’re especially looking for paraprofessionals to work one-on-one or in small groups with students needing extra support, custodians to maintain the cleanliness of our facilities, food service workers to prepare for and serve breakfasts and lunches to students and gardeners to tend to our outside areas. Depending on the job, these are either part-time (two to five daily hours) or full-time positions (eight hours a day).

In addition to the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of students and staff, all of these positions provide benefits (including a pension) and a wonderfully short commute. For more information about AUSD’s open positions, please see our job opportunities webpage (bit.ly/alaschooljobs).

Happening soon: We also have several events coming up that are of interest to our community. On Jan. 18-19, we’ll hold our Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten Information Nights, respectively. Both will be held via Zoom at 6:30 p.m.

The TK Information Night Zoom link will be posted this week to our enrollment page (bit.ly/AUSDenrollment). The Kindergarten Information Night Zoom links will be published by each elementary school. Online enrollment begins Jan. 23, when the link will open at 8 a.m.

Several community members are interested in reconvening the Jewish Roundtable to expand support for the Jewish community within the AUSD. Jewish parents/guardians, students, teachers and community members are invited to attend the first meeting at 7 p.m. Jan. 25. For more information, contact Rabbi Cynthia Minster at rabbi@templeisraelalameda.org.

Finally, our first Board of Education meeting in 2023 happened this week on Tuesday. Subsequent meetings will be held Jan. 24, Feb. 14 and Feb. 28.

Susan Davis is the Alameda Unified School District’s senior manager for community affairs. Reach her at 510-337-7175 or SDavis@alamedaunified.org.
