Academia Cesar Chavez is a public school open to all students and their families at no cost. We offer services to students and their families in a culturally sensitive and personalized way. Academia Cesar Chavez admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.

We will have a part-time opening beginning mid-August, 2020, Monday – Friday, 1:30pm to approx. 5:30 – 6:00pm (or whenever the daily school bus routes have been reported as completed for the day.)

Ideally, you would have bi-lingual Spanish Language skills to better assist or families and guests or be comfortable speaking conversational Spanish language, but this is not mandatory.

Some occasional flexibility in your schedule to substitute and provide coverage for other receptionist staff scheduled time off would be helpful. This could mean 8:00 – 3:00pm

or 7:00 – 2:00pm, Monday – Friday. Again, preferred but not mandatory.
