Student Helpers

Students applying to work as a Helper for the ZED Summer Academy must be 14 years of age or older by the start of Summer Academy to be considered. Student Helpers will be paid an hourly wage for the week. If you have not been requested by a ZED Summer Academy Instructor, you will also need to send a letter of reference written by a person, other than a relative, to the ZED District Office. The letter of reference can be mailed to: Zumbro Education District, Student Helper, 2002 N Mantorville Ave, Kasson, MN 55944 or emailed, as an attachment, to bhuemoeller@zumbroed.org. Applicants that have already been chosen by a ZED Summer Academy Instructor only need to complete SECTION 1 of the online application.
