FPS seeks to attract and retain those applicants with a strong commitment to student success and a collaborative, self-reflective spirit.  The first step in the application process is a review of the required submitted materials and credentials.  Professional staff must provide a letter of interest, resume, college transcripts, 3 letters of reference and proof of Massachusetts licensure. Those candidates invited for an interview can generally expect to meet with a team comprised of the building administrators, other building educators and/or specialists.  As we take the opportunity to get to know prospective new team members we feel it is just as important for them to meet potential co-workers.  We invite all finalists selected to return and demonstrate a brief model lesson in front of children. (yes even during the summer months!).  After verbal reference checking is completed, the selected candidate would then be required to have a final interview with the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent or Director of Student Services at our Central Office Location.  Once endorsed, a contingent job offer would be tendered subject to the successful passing of a CORI/SORI background check.
