Attendance and Truancy Support Assistant (Bilingual Preferred)

TAPA: Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts, an academically rigorous public charter school for the arts, seeks a full-time Attendance and Truancy Support Assistant to support students in grades 512. Working under the direction of TAPAs School Culture Coordinator, this position will help ensure that every student is present, on time, and connected to school each day.

The Attendance and Truancy Support Assistant will conduct immediate, consistent follow-up whenever a student is absent or late. This includes contacting students and families, documenting the reason for each absence or tardy, identifying patterns, tracking students who are approaching attendance and truancy thresholds, and making sure concerns do not disappear into a spreadsheet without meaningful follow-up.

This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, persistent, comfortable making frequent phone calls, and able to communicate both urgency and care. The successful candidate will build positive relationships with students and families while clearly reinforcing that regular, on-time attendance is essential. In addition to attendance-specific responsibilities, the assistant will provide student supervision, classroom coverage, and other schoolwide support as needed.

TAPAs creative community is enriched by the cultural, religious, racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of our neurodiverse families, students, and employees. Nearly all TAPA students are people of color, predominantly Latinx, and many speak both English and Spanish at home. A significant portion of our student body identifies as members of the LGBTQ community. We actively seek to hire staff members who reflect and affirm our students identities and experiences.
