We would like to express our gratitude for the indispensable role played by Administrative Assistants in the Aberdeen School District. They not only represent the face of ASD but also perform a range of duties to assist Principals and Administrators with administrative and clerical tasks. These include learning about school organization, operations, policies, and objectives, and interpreting, applying, and explaining laws, codes, rules, regulations, policies, and procedures. They are responsible for ensuring smooth and efficient office operations, maintaining a variety of records, logs, and files, and serving as intermediaries between administrators, faculty, staff, students, parents, and the public. These skills represent just a small portion of what our Administrative Assistants possess, as they are responsible for much more, and possess numerous other skills that aren't mentioned here. We appreciate their hard work and unwavering dedication to the Aberdeen School District.
