Application Process
Along with the application, all of the following documents must be received by Human Resources in order for you to be considered as a candidate for a teaching position:

  • Letter of interest
  • Resume'
  • Credentials from your college placement office (a minimum of 3 letters) or 3 individual letters of reference
  • Transcripts (all grades)
  • Iowa teaching license (when available)

Help Expedite the Process
Due to the large number of applications received, the delay in receiving transcripts and credentials, and our thorough screening process, it is anticipated that it could take up to 90 days to fill some vacancies. You can help expedite the application process by having all of the above materials sent in a timely manner. Send only one set of materials and one general letter of interest. Your materials are viewed on an electronic database by all principals who are seeking teachers for their buildings.

Interviews
If you are selected for an interview, you will receive a call from the principal or persons involved in the hiring process. You will also receive a call when the interview process is complete to inform you of our decision. If you are not selected for an interview you will not receive any further correspondence.

Applications Will Remain on File
Your complete application packet will remain on file for two years. You do not need to reapply for every vacancy posted during the first year. During the second year, a letter from you indicating your continued interest will ensure the active status of your application file.
