Looking For a Great Relationship Builder at Sacajawea- Community School Liaison
Please pass this to someone you know who might be interested and qualified.
Sacajawea is looking for an amazing relationship builder, as I will not be returning to Sacajawea next school year. However, I will continue to work with our families, just in a district position and will help oversee the Community School Strategy in other elementary schools. I would like to thank you for your support in these past years. You have been instrumental in the success of our community school strategy.
Our Community School Liaison oversees the community school strategy in the building. The community school strategy is both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources. Its integrated focus on academics, services, supports and opportunities leads to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities. The Community School Liaison is a connection maker and builds relationships with our students, families, staff and community. The person would be another building block to the school system. They would be fully integrated in the school culture, such as participating in staff meetings, helping out at recess duties and spearheading some of their own projects.
We need someone:
- Who is a connection maker. Looking for ways to build strong relationships with kids, parents, staff and the community.
- Who is self-driven. Can take charge of their own work.
- Who is comfortable with looking over data and then being able to analyze what they see.
- Who is bilingual in Spanish and English (both written and spoken preferred), so that they can serve all of our families well.
- Who will ensure that the Community School Strategy is based on best practices.
- Who is able to take on multiple roles.
- Who is trusting and responsible.
- Who is comfortable with direct interaction with adults and with kids and should also be proficient at using technology for communication and data tracking.
- Whose integrity is outstanding, and who can build trust with parents, staff, students, patrons, and supervisors.
- Most importantly, we need someone who loves kids and families.
This is a fantastic way to make a difference in our school and community.
If you know someone who would be great at this please encourage them to apply online at THIS LINK. They can feel free to direct questions to Mrs. Hernandez (hhernandez@caldwellschools.org / 208-455-3333 x1439).
Questions about salary and benefits can be posed to Patti Wade (pwade@caldwellschools.org / 208-455-3300) or you can view the classified salary scale directly at THIS LINK or go to www.caldwellschools.org and then to HR and to Employment.
Thanks for your help spreading the word. We are looking forward to meeting the next great member of our Sacajawea family.
Hortencia Hernandez
