Classroom Aides

Fifty classroom aides are a vital part of the Paly community as they support and guide students in their learning across campus so that they can make the most of their education. Aides act not only as a liaison between a student and a teacher but also work to support each student academically, emotionally and socially in the classroom. Their jobs are difficult but rewarding. “Basically it’s doing everything and anything necessary for kids to succeed not just academically but also socially, helping them make friends, navigate situations and teach them life skills and modify curriculum so they can learn in a way that makes sense to them,” Mrigendra Steiner, a classroom aide of 17 years and a part of PAUSD for over 50 years, said. Although they are an integral part of some class environments at Paly many students are unaware of their impact.
