Job Description

Background Information

Spark Academy in Lawrence, MA, is an innovative public school, part of Lawrence Public Schools, dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where every student thrives. Recognized among the top 4% of schools in the state as a School of Recognition, Spark Academy pairs research-driven academics, a focus on movement, and a strong, values-based culture to meet the needs of our students.

Behind every great school day is an operation that runs smoothly. The Operations Specialist keeps Spark's middle school humming: the front office, family communication, student records and logistics, and the dozens of details that let teachers teach and students learn. It is a fast, people-facing, highly organized role at the center of the building.

What you'll do

  • Run the front office and be a warm, organized first point of contact for students, families, and staff.

  • Communicate with families in both Spanish and English, by phone, in person, and in writing.

  • Keep student records, attendance, and enrollment information accurate and up to date.

  • Handle day-to-day logistics, scheduling, and supplies so the building runs smoothly.

  • Use school systems and software quickly and accurately, and process information fast.

  • Support school leaders on operations projects and other responsibilities as needed.

What we're looking for

  • Fluent in Spanish and English; you will work directly with Spanish-speaking families.

  • Hyper-organized, efficient, and productive, with a positive, can-do attitude.

  • Comfortable with technology, and able to type and work quickly and accurately.

  • Solid with everyday, high-school-level math.

  • Evidence of hard work, reliability, and growing responsibility in past roles.

Logistics

  • Position type: Full-time

  • Location: Spark Academy, Lawrence, MA

  • Languages: Spanish and English required

  • Starting date: SY 26-27

Job Requirements

  • High school diploma required; a college degree is not required.

  • No prior school-operations experience required; the right person will be trained.

  • Citizenship, residency or work visa required.

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences.
