In this role he/she might organize online and paper files for easy access and quick retrieval. Working with files also includes suggesting new organizing systems if needed and fulfilling file requests.

Managing Correspondence

One of his/her duties is to manage his/her own correspondence as well as that of the school, students & teachers. A front desk office assistant will follow up on to-dos and then file the emails in appropriate categories for later.

Greeting Guests
Because the front desk office assistant is usually the first person someone sees when he steps into the office, she is responsible for managing the way visitors are greeted. The assistant should be aware of where children, teacher & the director are throughout the day so he/she can relay proper information about wait times and whereabouts. An assistant must be able to effectively balance greeting visitors with her administrative duties.

Answering Phones
