$50,000 USD - $65,000 USD

Schedule

Fixed schedule: 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Mountain Time (Denver/America), year-round, auto-adjusting for daylight saving time. Full-time exempt role, requiring at least 40 hours per week with uninterrupted focus during scheduled hours. Remain actively available and immediately responsive throughout the workday via phone, chat, Zoom, email, and internal systems so students, parents, and colleagues can reach you in real time. Avoid all concurrent work during scheduled hours and maintain full professional focus; ensure any outside employment does not interfere with performance and is approved in writing in advance. Maintain a private, professional, distraction-free remote workspace with reliable high-speed internet that supports video and required tools. Maintain consistent daily availability; absences exceeding two consecutive instructional days materially disrupt student support, engagement, and progress monitoring and generally cannot be accommodated during the instructional term.
