The ATSEM intervene daily with the pupils of the nursery classes. It is also the City which maintains buildings and grounds kindergartens and elementary schools or who provide the materials teachers need (furniture, paintings…). All these missions will come the work of administrative agents, guards, Territorial Educators for Physical and Sports Activities (ETAPS), security agents on the way to and around the school, maintenance agents…. Finally, on extra-curricular times, the City offers reception on Wednesdays and during school holidays.
“With the teachers, we discuss the activities, the difficulties of the children… It’s an exhausting job but so rich! We welcome the children in the morning, we assist the teacher during the day and during the workshops, we accompany children at lunchtime and in the evening. Above all, we have a very important role in managing their emotions so that they like coming to school and that, hand in hand with the teachers, we Let’s do great together.” Béatrice Ricoux, ATSEM at the Parmelan school
