What are the responsibilities and job description for the High School Inclusion Aide (paraprofessional) position at Innovation Academy Charter School?
Innovation Academy Charter School has an opening for a High School Student Services inclusion aide/paraprofessional for the 2025/2026 school year. Situated in Tyngsboro, MA (near the intersection of routes 3 and 495), IACS draws a diverse student body from neighboring districts, including Lowell, Dracut, and Chelmsford, as well as Tyngsboro.
We have a strong mentoring program for staff new to the schools. We welcome candidates who are committed to their own professional learning, open to feedback, and committed to collaboration.
IACS is working hard to hire staff that represent the backgrounds and cultures of all of our students.

We strongly encourage candidates to celebrate their diversity and to inquire about the grant-funded programs.
JOB SUMMARY
Inclusion aides have an important role in the success of students requiring additional support in the classroom. While the aide’s first priority is to provide support to students with IEPs, all students in the classroom can benefit from aide support as time permits. Aides should be able to follow the direction of the classroom teacher or Student Services teacher and demonstrate flexibility in response to schedule changes due to student need. Aides are not expected to complete IACS-related work beyond their contracted hours. Aides are supervised by the Assistant Student Services Director
