How this role fits into the team

Each member of our team is essential to building a thriving culture that sees and calls out the image of God in our students and in one another. As we invite students to step into everything they are designed to be and do, our faculty and staff must also reflect and invest in our daily work of responding to God’s calling through an inner posture of discipline, diligence, and dedication. The School Nurse at Donum Dei Classical Academy plays a vital role in ensuring the health and safety of students, maintaining medical records, managing routine health checks, and collaborating with faculty, staff, and parents to support students' physical well-being and overall success.

Compensation

Compensation is an annual salary paid bimonthly with partial salary paid as tuition credit if applicable/requested. *

*Tuition Credit is the amount of your salaried income that can be designated toward your child’s tuition, if you are both an employee and a DDCA parent. These funds are tax-exempt, but applying this credit is optional. The prorated amount will be taken out of each pay period and your paycheck will reflect take-home wages after applicable taxes and withholdings are calculated. The amount of your potential tuition credit is determined based on California current minimum wage rates, which DDCA is required by law to pay you. Salary above and beyond minimum wage is able to be used toward tuition and is exempt from income tax when used for this purpose. We recommend consulting your tax advisor for further clarity around how this impacts your annual income.
