Administrative
Application Requirements
Thank
you for your interest in the Kelso
School District. Please
read the following requirements carefully. The main body of the application is
to be filled out online and you will submit it electronically. There are a
number of supplemental items which must be submitted separately in order for
your application to be complete (see below). Careful attention to the
application and to providing all of the information requested is the most
important first step in applying for any position. Everything you wish to have
considered needs to appear in the application. Remember you are competing with
all other applicants for available positions. Submission of the online
application makes you an active candidate; however, in order for your
application to be complete and considered for open positions all supplementary
information must have been received. You will receive e-mail notification when
your application is considered “complete.”
Applications
will not be kept active beyond one year from the submission date, unless
renewed and/or updated by the applicant.
Position openings are
posted on this online application system as well as through our web site: http://www.kelso.wednet.edu

IN ORDER FOR YOUR
APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETE, WE NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
- Employment Application Form. Click on Application and complete each of the
sections beginning with Base Info. Fill out the remaining sections on the
Application Menu including Degrees, Certificate/License, Skills,
Experience, Preferences, and References. When completing the Experience
section please include your teaching and administrative experience as part
of your employment history.
- Inserts. There is an insert in the Inserts section called
"Administrative Reference Form" (Admin Ref). This form must be completed by all
applicants. Clicking on print to the right of the name of the form opens the
document; print and complete the document.
Please note that you must print off 4 of the Reference Forms to
send to individuals for completion, and the District must receive at least
2 forms in order for your application to be complete. Sign and have the
forms sent to the Human Resources Department. Also you must send the
information requested in items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 below to the Human
Resources Department. Applicants are advised that they will be subject to
all certification regulations as well as state background checks. When an
offer of employment is made, new employees must complete a background
check for criminal history, including a fingerprint check, by the State
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as a current
written disclosure of specified criminal convictions and civil or
disciplinary board findings. Any offer of employment is conditional upon
the successful outcome of the criminal history background check and
approval by the District's Board of Directors.
- General Cover Letter. Prepare a general cover letter stating the
position(s) in which you are interested, your qualifications for the
position(s), and include why you wish to work for the Kelso School District.
- Current Resumé. A resumé of your work
experience, education, certifications, and special skills should be
included. This will help to “fill in the gaps” left by the
District application.
- Letters of Recommendation or College Placement
File. A placement file from
your college or university or a minimum of three letters of
teaching/administrative-related recommendations is required. If your
placement file is more than three (3) years old, it is suggested that you
submit three (3) current letters of recommendation, either in conjunction
with your placement file or instead of your placement file. Your application is considered
incomplete without it/them. Request your college placement service send
the file directly to the Human Resources Office.
- Copies of College Transcripts. Transcripts are helpful in the screening
process and are not normally included in your placement file. (Official
transcripts will be required upon employment.)
- Copy of State Administrative Certificate. If you have not received your certificate,
indicate when you expect to receive it and submit a copy immediately upon
receipt.
Upon
completion of your application, you can click on Summary and review and print a copy
of your application. When you are ready to submit your application, click on Submit Application. You will then need to complete the Disclosure
Form and type YES in all caps. Then
click on Confirm Disclosure Statement.
You will then need to read the Certification, Authorization and Release and
type YES in caps if you agree. Then
