Candidates DO NOT apply for specific positions. When a school has an opening in the grade / classroom level where you marked interest or
for which you are qualified, your profile information is automatically sent to the school for consideration.
If you see a job listing for which you have interest, send the principal an email. This helps them know who is interested in jobs, especially for subject areas that tend to attract a large number of candidates. Emails are found on school webpages at www.canyonsdistrict.org / schools.
Schools have requested that you do not call or go in person.
When a school is ready to interview for a job opening, they only interview qualified candidates who are in the candidate pool.
Candidates may be contacted by phone or email for an interview. Make sure all of your contact information is up to date and if your Canyons District emails are ending up in your spam folder, mark them as "not spam" in your email setting (Personal emails and phone numbers are better than school or work emails).
