HFM BOCES is accepting applications for a School Monitor to work at our main campus in Johnstown, NY. The School Monitor Position is a 10-month, labor-class, civil service position with additional work available over the summer. The School Monitor will work with Teachers, the School Safety Coordinator and School Administration to create and support an environment where all students feel that they are welcome, they belong, and they are supported. By fostering positive relationships with students, staff and families, through active communication and strong collaboration, the School Monitor will be a part of a team that works to implement and maintain our district-wide and school safety plans with fidelity.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF THE CLASS:
This is work of ordinary difficulty involving responsibility for assisting staff and students by performing assigned routine tasks including the supervision and care of students. Since there are definite limits on the type and complexity of assignments, the class of School Monitor differs in that respect from Teacher Aide which usually involves duties of greater difficulty generally requiring specific skills or abilities. Work is performed under the general supervision of a School District Leader, the School Principal or a member of the teaching staff. Does related work as required.
TYPICAL WORK ACTIVITIES (Illustrative but not exhaustive):
- Assists in supervising students, including but not limited to hallways, recreation and lunch periods and study halls;
- May supervise children in classrooms for brief periods in a teachers' absence;
- Maintains order in gymnasiums and locker rooms;
- Oversees students passing between classes and in locker rooms and on premises before and after school;
- May perform simple clerical duties under close supervision, including answering the phone and taking messages;
- Assists students during arrival and dismissal times.
- Assist with monitoring the safety of building, including greeting and screening visitors using the Raptor System
The above examples of duties are intended only as illustrations of the various types of work performed. The omission of specific statements of duties does not exclude them from the position if the work is similar, related or a logical assignment to the position.
