SAN LUCAS UNION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Do you think a small home environment where everyone knows one another is preferable to an overcrowded school?

Do you think teachers should be allowed to decide how to run their own classroom to meet the needs of each of their students?

Do you want to work where it's safe to voice your opinions, and have your suggestions be heard?

If you answered "yes" to the above questions, then you should apply for a teaching position at San Lucas School!

San Lucas School is a single-school district of about 75 students, located in Monterey County, California at the southern end of the Salinas Valley. It is an agricultural, rural community of approximately 400 people. We are located less than an hour's drive from beautiful Paso Robles, one of the the New York Times' featured places to visit in 2020.

San Lucas School focuses on whole person development. Social and emotional needs are of utmost importance -- and that includes our staff! After all, we can't run a great school if our staff is struggling. A small, rural school is a gift to people who desire real human connections with their students and colleagues. San Lucas is frequently described by those who work here as a small family. Everyone knows everyone, and we're here to support one another. That's why we have great claims to longevity among our staff -- our school secretary has been here 47 years! If you're looking for a place where you get to have a say in your classroom, and your individual, emotional needs are respected, then this is the place for you.

We expect teachers to demonstrate autonomy, show a willingness to work hard, assume responsibility, and acquire new skills. Our mission is to develop strong student academic outcomes, positive self-esteem, and emotional self-regulation skills. These expectations are high  -- our unduplicated pupil count is over 90%. Think of what an opportunity you have to make a difference in a child's life!  San Lucas School supports you with Professional Learning Community meetings, conference and workshop attendance, and in-district staff professional development. Our small staff allows for every teacher to have full input into the operation of their classrooms and school activities.

**Preference will be given to teachers who are bilingual in English and Spanish, or hold both a multiple subject teaching credential and education specialist credential
