Science Teachers; grades

We are a unique school. We do things much differently than most and we are proud of it. We expect teachers to do 3 things all of the time
- 1) Push our kids every single day to reach the unimaginable,
2) Support your colleagues, and
3) Have a freakin' awesome time with your colleagues and kids. This describes our school culture.

Additionally, we expect our teachers to do the following:

• Go above and beyond for our kids without fail
• Arrive on time for your work day
• Communicate with parents continuously
• Work after hours and on weekends when necessary
• Control and manage our students at all times
• Be creative
• Provide solutions to problems/challenges
• Enjoy our work environment and implement ways to make it better each day
