Student Support Staff Positions

Homestead is currently working to expand our Student Support Staff and is in need of Instructional Assistants. If you are interested in a position with semi-flexible hours that allows you to be home at the same time as your school-aged children, a position as an Instructional Assistant at Homestead is for you.

Instructional Assistants are assigned to classrooms and study halls to support students. Instructional Assistants work with students on taking notes, answering questions during classroom activities, providing extra reading time on tests, working with small groups under the direction of the classroom teacher, and providing tips and suggestions for organizing and completing homework. Instructional Assistants help to provide the best possible educational experience to Homestead students at every level.

Parking & Drop off/Pickup Reminders

As Homestead construction continues, things such as student drop-off and pick-up change. One of the changes for the 2022-23 school year is the requirement that our families use the Door 1 drop-off and pick-up turnaround.

In the mornings, we have found that the Spartan Turnaround (see map to the right) works quite well, and parents get through in less than 5 minutes (not including time on Homestead Road).

In the afternoons, parents should go through this same Turnaround for student pick-up. Unfortunately, some of our neighboring businesses are seeing an uptick in afternoon parking (during after school pick-up). We kindly ask that you do not park in the lots of our neighboring businesses. Whether it be all day or for just 30 minutes to pick up your student from school, there should be no parking at the fire station, Saint Elizabeth Church, or Summit.

Not only does this after-school parking impede our neighbors from utilizing their own lots for their patrons, it causes some unsafe conditions when students cross the streets at non-crosswalk locations.

So, please, use the Homestead Turnaround (entering off of Homestead Road) to drop off and pick up your student. Thank you.
