OPENING for the 2024-25 School Year
Canal School is looking for a caring, dedicated, and engaging Designated Building Substitute for our diverse and culturally rich students.
A Designated Building Substitute reports to Canal Elementary daily to fill various open positions throughout the building. They must commit to working 90 or more school days at the same school during the year and would be guaranteed work every day. They will be available to substitute in any open position on a daily basis. They will be available to substitute in any open position on a daily basis, help with recess and lunchroom coverage, help with schoolwide projects, and support teachers in a variety of roles. They get to know all of the students and staff in this role, which makes for a more effective and enjoyable experience when covering classrooms. They would be paid at the highest level on the substitute scale, according to their level of education and certification. CHRC (Maine DoE fingerprinting) is required, teaching certification preferred. This position is not a contract or benefits eligible position. We are looking for a collaborative and energetic person to add to our school community.
As a small neighborhood school, Canal believes in working collaboratively with families and the community to support all our students. Strong relationships within our school community and with community partnerships enable us to foster academic growth while supporting social, emotional, and basic needs. We customize our instructional practices to best support our population through the inclusion of Title 1, MultiLingual, Special Education, Alternative Learning, Gifted and Talented, and counseling services in our family atmosphere. Through our work with PBIS and BARR we build on student assets and school pillars to cultivate and grow strong connections and caring relationships.
