Hi - Jenna, thank you so much for all your work. My daughter loves her class.
 
If any parents are considering doing this, but not sure you can commit to 20-30 min/wk, or if you don't want to do all of those tasks, I could help in an assistant capacity  ...perhaps others are also available for some work & we could divide the duties, with a lead coordinator? My daughter started at SSA in Feb; I'm Allie's mom from the Sat am class.

Dear parents,
 
After two years of coordinating the kids program at SSA, I have decided it's
time for me to focus on other areas of my life. I am writing to see if a
parent would be interested in helping coordinate the program. It is a
wonderful way to give back to this community, which is run by volunteers and
offers quality classes for very low rates, but it can't thrive without
support. Please consider the position, here are the requirements:
 
- *Call Meetings/**Teacher Training Sessions**:* approximately one per
quarter, or as needed. Review first aid and liability with instructors.
- *Schedule Orientations and/or Demonstrations:* Beginning of school year
(mid-September) and New Year (mid-January) are good times of the year.
Consider going to local middle schools to give demonstrations on site.
- *Schedules* make sure teachers are testing students regularly. If there
are any class schedule changes, pass info to our web producer for posting
and to the facilities manager for adding to schedule.
- *Coordinates Teacher* *Bios/Photos for Website* (pass to web producer)
- *Point of contact* for Board and Yudansha (attend board meetings)
- *Responds to public inquiries.*
- *Cover duties of Administrator as needed *(make fliers, organize
attendance and application books, update Google Group, etc)*
*
 
I probably spend 20-30 minutes a week attending to these things (outside of
any teaching or assisting) on average. It was a bit more in the beginning,
setting up or getting used to where things are, how things work. The
majority is simply communicating with teachers and parents.
 
I am stepping down at the end of this month and am available for
transitional support. Please let me know if you are interested.
 
Best wishes,
Jenna
