Pre-K Teacher – Tiny Humans, Big Impact!
Do you love glitter, giggles, and guiding young learners toward success? Can you manage a caseload with the same skill you use to locate a missing shoe, comfort a sad friend, and explain why crayons are not a food group? If so, we may have the perfect position for you!
We're Looking For:
A passionate Pre-K Teacher with Special Education Certification who is ready to provide direct instruction, support individualized learning needs, collaborate and supervise an ed tech team, and serve as a case manager for our youngest students. You'll help children build foundational skills while celebrating every milestone—from recognizing letters to successfully sharing the last blue marker.
What You'll Do:
Provide engaging, developmentally appropriate direct instruction to Pre-K students.
Develop and implement individualized educational plans and supports.
Serve as a case manager, coordinating services and collaborating with families, specialists, and staff.
Track student progress with detective-level attention to detail.
Create a classroom environment where curiosity is encouraged, mistakes are learning opportunities, and every child feels valued.
Master the art of answering 47 questions before 9:00 a.m.
What You'll Bring:
An ability to be conditionally or professionally certified as a special educator
Knowledge of early childhood development and special education best practices.
Strong organizational and communication skills.
Patience, flexibility, and a sense of humor.
The ability to tie tiny shoes, accept pretend food graciously, and admire artwork that may or may not be upside down.
Bonus Points If You:
Can read a story with dramatic flair worthy of a Broadway audition.
Know the difference between a "real emergency" and a "ladybug emergency."
Understand that finding a lost stuffed animal may sometimes be the most important task of the day.
What You'll Gain:
Daily high-fives.
Unfiltered compliments.
Front-row seats to remarkable growth and learning.
The opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of young children and their families.
If you're ready to combine professional expertise with creativity, compassion, and a healthy appreciation for finger paint, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in helping our youngest learners thrive—one alphabet letter, one happy dance, and one successful day at a time!
Please share with anyone you think might be interested in this exciting opportunity!

Every Voice Matters: Vote on June 9
On Tuesday, June 9, our community will have an important opportunity to help shape the future of our schools by voting on the proposed school budget referendum.
This vote is about more than numbers on a page—it is about investing in the students, staff, programs, and opportunities that make our schools strong and our community vibrant. The proposed budget is designed to support quality educational experiences, maintain essential services, and ensure that our schools continue to meet the needs of all learners.
Strong schools are the foundation of a strong community. They help attract families, support local economic growth, and prepare the next generation for success. The decisions we make today will have a lasting impact on the opportunities available to our students tomorrow.
Whether you are a parent, taxpayer, staff member, alumni, business owner, or community supporter, your voice matters. Participating in the referendum is one of the most direct ways to influence the future of public education in our community.
Please remember to vote on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Together, we support our schools and our community. Together, we build a bright future.
