Littleton Public Schools

I love my job and enjoy working with students, so that’s the best part of this job. The pay isn’t the best, but better in comparison to other local districts. No matter how much experience or education you have everyone starts off with the same starting pay. They don’t give you the option to opt out of PERA which takes out a big chunk from the MONTHLY paycheck. However they do reimburse it, but getting paid under $1.5k a month for a full-time job is a joke. We get paid hourly, but there is no opportunity to work extra hours. If you volunteer to chaperone after school, you will not get paid unless you fight for it.  I’ve talked to several others who have to work another job to keep afloat. At the school I work at there is a huge lack of diversity in the staff. I’ve been mocked for my ethnicity by several different colleagues and voicing my concerns continues to be ignored. 

Based on my experience, I would not recommend working for Littleton Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services. The work environment felt unsupportive and, at times, toxic. Communication from leadership often came across as dismissive, condescending, and lacking professionalism, which made it difficult to feel respected as an employee. Instead of feeling encouraged or valued, I often felt talked down to and uncomfortable bringing up concerns.

Morale was negatively affected by the way staff were treated, and the environment did not feel healthy or collaborative. In my experience, this was not a workplace where employees were set up to succeed or feel appreciated. Anyone considering this position should ask detailed questions about management style, staff support, communication, and overall workplace culture before accepting a role.

This a program that starts right when the children get off the bus from their regular school day. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting a smile rather than tears, at the beginning of the year. I facilitated art projects for the children, which is great fun.
My co-workers always worked as a team which made the job go much smoother. The hardest part of the job was seeing the older children grow and move on. One of the hardest parts, though, is finding a child who is having a bad day for some reason. Locating a sullen child by themselves on the play-ground and trying to remedy it was very rewarding 

I have only accolades to share about Littleton Public Schools.   Although I do not remember a day that I did not work hard, I also do not recall a day that I didn't laugh.   Professionals in education, we worked together to improve our instructional and classroom management skills to provide our students with quality educations. As the years went by, we just became better and better at our craft.  We also  honed our communication and technology skills, hoping to capture those curious minds of a changing population.  

My jobs, both at Heritage High School as a teacher and at Powell Middle School as an administrator, filled me daily with pride for my work and hope for the future.

A typical day consisted of getting there in time to help transition the kids from their ride to the classroom and helping them get settled, assisting them through their school day and attemting to integrate them into their regular classroom, helping them with their school work and assisting with any daily life activities as needed. I learned how to follow lesson plans and to utilize my knowledge to create new lesson plans and new ways of teaching necessary skills and knowledge. The hardest part of the job was being able to split my time effectively with each kid I was working with. The most enjoyable part was knowing that I was helping these kids to be more integrated with their peers and to have as normal of a school experience as they could.

Everyday is different depending on student and parent needs.

Only worked 2 days a week.  
I learned to work with staff and specific programs for vehicle maintenance.
Shop Supervisor  retired and was replaced by a new one last year.  New Director came in a couple of years ago.  Served under more than one Director of Transportation.
Hardest part of the job was reconciling mileages that were occasionally transposed.
Enjoyable part was working with fellow employees.

A typical day included supervising children in classroom settings and outdoors on the playground.  One major thing to learn from this experience was patience.  Management was great in helping to train me how to deal with certain situations like allergic reactions and misbehaving children.  The co-workers I had were very helpful when you needed a hand.  The hardest part of the job was having to discipline children.  The best part of the job was taking the kids on field trips to museums and swimming pools, even major league baseball games.

I enjoyed working as a health technician for one of the schools. All of the admin were fantastic and helpful. They were a great team that opened their arms and welcomed me. 
Typical day was assisting children with minor injuries and illnesses. Medication management. Data entry and calling parents.
Hardest part of the job... contacting parents that didn't want to pick up.
Most enjoyable part... everything. The kids were a blast, staff was amazing, job was great.
