- On 8 ?? x11 paper make at least three copies of the graduation list. The ORIGINAL and a copy are to be sent to the office of Student Services. Please keep a copy in your files.

Student Teachers to Consider for Hire for 2018-19 School Year
From Carlos Clay
Principals and Directors ???
As you know, one of our many goals in serving our students is to secure the best and the brightest new teacher hires for the coming school year!?? With this in mind, we know that there is a robust pool of student teachers this year that we would like to screen and hire for positions for the coming school year. Now that you have had the opportunity to see them student teach, we would like your feedback on your initial perception of the student teachers that you have placed in your school this year.?? Remember, your student teacher may be considered for your building or for any other vacancy in the district. Please share with me the names of your student teachers, the grade level or content area they are assigned to, and indicate which ones you would hire today if you had the opportunity to secure them.
In fairness, we want to encourage all of our student teachers to fill out an application for consideration.?? Please reach out to all of your student teachers and encourage them to apply in the coming days with KCKPS, if they haven???t done so already, by visiting the ???KCKPS Student Teachers and Student Certified Staff??? application from our employment website??https://kckps.tedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.aspx?JobID=4452.?? Please let them know that we are looking at moving quickly on our potential student teacher hires and that they must have an application on file before we can interview and/or select candidate for hire.
Please let me know by the close of business, Tuesday, February 13, 2018,?? the names of any student teachers that you believe need to be secured as soon as possible with Kansas City Kansas Public Schools.?? If you currently have no student teachers, please simply reply with ???none???.
