Pitt County Schools

I worked with students that were identified as IDMO, SED, AU, etc.  I worked with clients daily to help them become acclimated to the every day challenges of the regular school setting.  I would attend classes with some students, escort students to classes, de-escalate explosive behaviors, and work to keep all students in the classroom environment to try to keep them from getting suspended from school.

I learned that all students can learn and the majority of my students with behavioral issues just wanted to be heard and they wanted someone to listen and care.  Once these students were able to express themselves, then they were usually able to return to class without any further incidences.  

My principal worked well with the exceptional children's population.  My co-workers were very receptive of my students and would help them adjust to their classes with various accommodations.  

The most difficult part of my job is when my kids are upset or angry and they do not know why, they can't express, or they feel that everyone is against them.  

I could have retired from this school system last year but when 2 students came to me and asked me to stay because they could not graduate without me being here, I couldn't say no.  They make everything worthwhile.

I enjoyed being able to teach students and enjoyed seeing them  learned from what I taught them.  I enjoyed using my creative ideas to formulate a lesson plan to implement if I needed to implement one which I did sometimes and that was also rewarding. I enjoyed working with different grades.  I am more productive when I am in  control and managing my environment  so I would make sure I arrived at the school before class started to get acquainted with the routine and the lesson plan.  I enjoyed interacting with the students and watching them grow and learn.  The teachers did not mind assisting me if I had problems or questions which was very helpful and comforting.  I value teamwork.  I learned a lot from the students and teachers as well as other staff including guidance counselors. The students would also help me with the routine in the classroom.  The down side of substituting was you never knew what to expect from day to day because you were substituting. It wasn't a long term job.   As time when by I tried to select the same schools and classrooms to substitute.

Working with children can be fun most of the time. I really like teaching them. Education is what they really need today and I am
there and prepared for that day to make sure they learn and are taught what is required of them. I really like my job and I learn a lot from all ages. I have been working with this company for a long time and I like it very much. The teachers are friendly and if I need help, they are always there to help. I've learned that some students are at different levels of learning. Some are fast learners and some are slow. My job is to take time with them and make them understand that school work is important for now and for the future. The most enjoyable part is at the end of the day, some students, especially k-5, gives me hugs because they say I am a nice teacher and they would like to have me back someday. The job is not hard at all to me. There are no hard parts of the job.

Bus Driver and Office Support.  As data manager, this position is the nucleus of the school and it is more manageable and more enjoyable.

The major stakeholders are students, parents, staff, visitors and other schools. You need to interact with and address everyone's needs while maintaining professionalism and respect.  The most stressful times for this position are the beginning and ending of the year.  At the beginning of the year, all students' information need to be entered into PowerSchool, have homerooms set and schedules made.  At the end of the year, report cards need to be ready on the last day of school.  Report cards and attendance need to be filed before the final check off for cumulative records and they are filed in alphabetical order by grade level.  Fifth grade cumulative records and rising kindergarten records are delivered to the feeder schools.  This position has minimal supervision. If done properly, you will request an audience with the supervisor to give updates and ask for clarification more than receiving directives.

I have worked with Pitt County Schools for 11 years and really enjoyed my job.

Unfortunately, I decided to resign because of my previous supervisor who was very prejudice and was not knowledgeable of how things worked in Pitt County Schools. Instead of seeing how things were done in Pitt County, she immediately wanted to change everything and get rid of everyone who she didn't like and change things her way and how Stanley County operated, which didn't work for Pitt County.

I discuss my concerns and problems with the Superintendent, but that was useless. When you go to work and are mentally and emotionally upset, it's time to make a change.

This is one place where I loved to work, but as I see it now, they have so many problems going on. I have had 5 bosses in my 11 years there, but because I didn't have that "degree" I was not able to get the job as the Director of the dept., with everyone knowing that I was more than capable of doing the job.

A typical day starts out by checking my messages and returning phone calls. I also check to see if any transcript orders have been placed, whether it be online or in the office. Once I pull orders, I then print them off and send them through the courier. Depending on what time of the year it is my job can be very demanding which does not necessarily make it hard but an extra effort is required; from transcripts to visiting schools to audit records to assisting with planning for all 6 high school graduations in the county. The atmosphere is relaxed--everyone pretty much gets along with everyone. We are very family oriented. We also work as a team, whether it be jumping it to help a department finish a project or helping direct a parent to the correct office for assistance. This in itself is very rewarding and makes the job enjoyable. Positions like these are the type that you look forward to going to work everyday. The type of job that you stay in until retirement calls.

Teaching all the children and watching their faces light up learning something new. I loved to teach them reading especially watching them learn and grow so much with instruction. I also enjoyed teaching math using hands on manipulatives to grasp the concepts, and singing fun songs to learn multiplication facts, etc. My job required a lot of time to plan well developed learning plans, gather materials for my lessons, checking papers, recording grades, doing assessments, going to meetings, and having conferences with parents. The most enjoyable part of my job was interacting with the students and watching them learn and grow with their smiles, hugs, letters, and kind words. The most difficult part of the job was the time involved day and night to teach.

a typical day at work working with kids, is very exciting, it can be challenging, but i am eager and ready for kids to learn, i deal with a lot of behaviors everyday. Its a very high level stress job some days.Afterwards, i drive the bus for elementary and high school students. My day ends around 4:00 everyday. There is a different challenge everyday. The management at this school needs a lot of improvement. I have learned to be very patient, and kinder, but sometimes i have to be very firm. I enjoy knowing , throughout the challenges, a child a learn and grown with education and learning everyday. That is the most enjoyable part of my job kids eager to learn.

Pitt County Schools is one of the most depressing places you could possibly work.  Good teachers are under appreciated and expected to do more because incompetent teachers cannot handle the extra work.  No duties are paid and are only compensated through "Comp time", which can only be used on certain days.  Salary is laughable and there are no types of bonuses that are worth the time of mentioning.  The school system is failing and the school board is inept.  There is no accountability for students and teachers are blamed for underachieving students.  PCS is unable to retain good teachers because of all the reasons listed.  Good teacher flee from the area in search of better jobs on an almost monthly basis.

I am a certified worker with Pitt County Schools.  I work 10 months and is off  from work for 2 months without pay.  First of all this is a hardship since there is no other other income within my home.  
 
I enjoy my job with the school because i enjoy working with the students.  It is priceless when they learn new concepts.  I also am a team player and work great with all the adults in the building.  I enjoy monitoring and training students to act in an appropriate manner to function successfully in society.

I am now seeking a year job with full benefits that will afford the opportunity to pay bills, and have extra money to enjoy life.
