Everett Public Schools

When the automated substitution desk calls you to come in for work, there is the opportunity to take the job or let it pass you by. If you prefer working in a specific place, or with a particular age group, this can be a wondrous advantage. But it can also mean the work is more sporadic, so you have to weigh turning down each job carefully.

Once you take the daily position, you check in with the school you'll be working at, and then get a briefing from the office staff before being sent to the department/room where you'll be helping the students. There are always horror stories about substituting at various schools, but I never found myself with such problems with the Everett School System, the kids respected me, and I showed them similar in turn, while taking them through their regular curriculum, supervising them on school grounds, or even teaching them work-related skills in the office or on-site copy center. They liked assisting the teachers and staff with their work-load, admitting it made them feel trusted, more mature and offered them something that felt like they were learning a trade they could go out and use in the real world.

Everett Public Schools is a large and diverse school district where employees are valued and respected.  Our Union ensures that we are treated with respect and professionalism and compensated for the long hours spent grading, planning, communicating with parents, and following through with the many additional tasks that accompany the job.  Teaching is a demanding, stressful, and rewarding career, requiring excellent organizational and communication skills.  It can be extremely difficult to manage 150 students' academic success.  The work is relentless and time-consuming.  However, there is much autonomy in teaching and I enjoy building relationships with my students.  I enjoy the diversity in culture and personality in my students and I have become intrigued by human nature.  I enjoy my breaks and my summers, and find that time very necessary in order to rejuvenate and re-set myself physically and emotionally in order to remain positive and productive for my students.

The pay is the best , especially for young people. Benefits like PTO and health care are amazing. You don't get any raises for being there longer. I great stepping stone but not a career. They give a decent amount of discretion. Paid travel time. 13 paid holidays, 2 days PTO a month when in the first year. Company vehicles. Unfortunately someone here for 20 years and 5 years will make within a dollar of eachother. Managment can be difficult and not understanding. Coworkers can be tough. Very diverse workers. I love it here as a 20 year old but I do plan to leave once I gain the knowledge I need to succeed elsewhere. No drug testing. Shifts can be flexible but not always. Pto is requested 2 weeks in advance with chance of being denied but if not during busy months you are forsure going to get it.

Everett Public Schools was an outstanding district largely because of their intent to provide topnotch services to their students, staff, parents, and community. Unlike some districts which continue to follow what has been done in the past as guidelines for the district, Everett keeps looking forward as to the upcoming focus leaders throughout the world have taken and they take the initiative to create the changes the district needs to make to give the best to their entire community of parents, students, staff, district, and city. 

If you enjoy being talked down to by custodial management that knows nothing about their jobs then this is the place for you. But school staff was great. any chance for promotion? Forget about it. They will put the least qualified person in that spot without hesitation: I enjoyed working here for the most part but my advice to management. Stop playing politics and punishing the good employees 

Everett Public Schools gives support to it's teachers and allows advancement and ability to stay current with curriculum through outstanding Professional Development.  Throughout my 15 years as an educator in Everett I was made to feel like family. Going to work everyday was rewarding and challenging as it should be.  My co-workers were extremely helpful, and energetic.  The most enjoyable part of my day was getting to work closely with children and to be able to see and celebrate their success and help them through their failures.  The hardest part of my job was having to give it up because of relocating to NH.

Because I taught grades 7-12 over the course of 27 years, every day was an unpredictable adventure.
   Everett was and still is a very sports-oriented city.
    I had to adapt to pep rallies and pre-game excitement on many occasions.
   However, because I grew up in Everett, I was already a fan of football and later basketball.
   I also was appointed to be the Advisor to the Varsity Cheerleaders and that gave me a chance to know the students on a different level.

The best part of working in any school system are the children.

A typical day in EPS resembles that of a beehive—busy and productive.
