We want this time to be fun and safe. Parents will be contacted if students arrive with any of the above things.

Instructional Assistants Needed
Enjoy the beautiful California weather while helping students discover the joy of movement! Capistrano Unified School District is seeking Instructional Assistants for our Rhythm and Movement Program. In this engaging role, you’ll support students as they develop coordination, timing, and body control through fun, structured activities. From clapping and stepping to jumping and moving in rhythm with others, you’ll help students build physical confidence and motor skills in an encouraging environment. These positions are 30 hours per week, Monday through Friday, and include medical, dental, and vision benefits. Some supplemental formal instruction in an arts education program required. If you’re ready to make a difference through movement, please visit the following link to apply: CUSD Rhythm and Movement Job Posting.
