3. General Cover Letter. Prepare a general cover letter stating the position(s) in which you are interested and your qualifications for the position(s), and stating why you would like to work for North Kitsap School District. (Can be uploaded into the online application but, since the software strips the formatting, we recommend that you send it in as a hard copy along with rest of the required documents).
4. Current Resume. A resume 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. (Can be uploaded into the online application but, since the software strips the formatting, we recommend that you send it in as a hard copy along with rest of the required documents).
5. Letters of Recommendation. A minimum of three recent letters of teaching-related recommendations is required. Your application is considered incomplete without them. (if you choose to upload these into the system, please also submit signed hard copies to HR).
6. Copies of College Transcripts. Transcripts are helpful in the screening process and are sometimes not included in your placement file. (Official transcripts will be required upon employment.)
7. Copy of Washington State Administrative and Teaching Certificates. If you have not received your certificate, indicate when you expect to receive it and submit a copy immediately upon receipt.
8. College Placement File (optional) Request your college placement service send the file directly to the Human Resources Office.

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 who will or may have unsupervised access to children, developmentally disabled persons, or vulnerable adults 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.
