3. DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES
Part-time (9:00 am - 2:00 pm - Monday - Friday)
About Omaha Street School: Omaha Street School is not just an alternative high school; it's a beacon of hope for students facing challenges that threaten their educational journey. Rooted in faith and a commitment to transforming lives, we are seeking a dedicated and passionate individual to join us as a Student Services Coordinator.
In this role, you will be instrumental in fostering a positive and supportive environment through three key areas: managing the Game Room, overseeing In-School Suspension and Diversion programs, and helping the executive director with various projects.
1. Manage Game Room/Champions Center:
At Omaha Street School, we recognize the national crisis of declining school attendance. We believe in proactive solutions, and that's where you come in! The Champions Center is a haven for students who choose positive behavior and regular attendance, and activities include:

2. Manage In-School Suspension and Diversion Programs:
In-School Suspensions: This program is designed to keep students engaged with academic work in the school environment after minor behavior offenses. In-school suspension is an alternative to out-of-school suspension. Being in school allows students to catch up on work as well as resolve any issues regarding misappropriate behavior. The goal is a timely return to the classroom for the student.
Diversion (OSSD): A restorative approach to address underlying issues, OSSD includes counseling, credit recovery, art therapy and other interventions. The goal is to prevent expulsion and guide students back to a successful academic path.
