Mexico School District 59 Position Openings
Employees with Level Changes
If you are planning on turning in paperwork for a level change, it needs to be turned into the Superintendent's office.
In order to move on the salary schedule the deadline for level changes are:
a. June 30, 2016 for teachers on July 1, 2016 contracts
b. August 5, 2016 for teachers with August 2016 contracts
The Horizontal Level Change Forms can be accessed through the Document Center. You will also need to attach an original transcript with the form.
Transfers Request Process
Teachers: There is no longer a March 1st deadline to request a transfer to another building. Instead, all openings will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Process: (Transfer requests are now done on TalentEd. No paperwork needs to be sent to the principal)
A. If an opening becomes available in your own building that you are interested in, you just need to talk to your principal about the process.
B. If an opening becomes available in a different building, then you need to fill out an internal application in TalentEd so that principal and Central Office know you have an interest.
There are no guarantees on transfer requests. Every situation is different and we will try to do what is best for kids in the long run.
Please contact Bethany Collins if you have questions on filling out an internal application. x2401.

Popcorn Mania - EF 2nd Grade service learning project!!
Popcorn Mania culminates Eugene Field 2nd grade level expectations in math, science, social studies and communications art. We run it just like a small business. We will not only teach across the curriculum, we will also try to instill compassion in helping others by donating our profits to worthy causes. (Mexico-Audrain Animal Shelter, Camp Barnabas - a camp for people with special needs, and 2 $250.00 MHS Senior Scholarships) This is a very important part of 2nd grade, but it’s also very hard work. We have already started learning about expenses, working for needs and wants, as well as earning, spending and saving money and how supply and demand affects a business. As we discuss these topics, the children will be learning about how each of these issues will affect our 2nd grade business, Popcorn Mania.
