An awesome benefit of working at a school is that you have the same schedule as your child! Pictured below are just a few of the positions currently available countywide - in Hazelwood, we specifically need teachers and paraprofessionals. We have openings in middle schools and elementary schools from the West side of the district to the East. We have open opportunities to work with students in general education classrooms, special education classrooms, collaboratively taught classrooms (two teachers - one HSD & one SSD), essential skills classrooms, and classrooms for students with our highest support needs.
Please also share this information with friends and family looking for a collaborative, equitable, and committed work culture, outstanding benefits, and competitive salaries.

Family & Community Engagement (FACE)
Special School District is excited to announce the creation of the Family and Community Engagement program (FACE). FACE, a merging of Parent Education and Diversity Awareness (PEDA) and Family Engagement divisions, will be effective as of July 1, 2022.
“We are so excited creating this new division that will utilize 30 years of research around family engagement to help us build a strong foundation for partnering with our families for student success,” said Executive Director of Teaching, Learning, & Accountability Dr. Mollie Bolton. “By aligning our resources and focusing on what works as stated in the research, we will offer amazing opportunities to support our students to excel to their greatest potential.”
The mission of FACE is to partner with students, families, and staff to support students throughout the District. These supports will include specialized academic, social, and emotional needs to promote self-determination, equitable opportunities, and authentic inclusion.
“We will be offering some of the great resources and activities that our families have been a part of in the past, as well as new opportunities for feedback, partnership, and growth,” said Bolton.
Families will still have access to the great resources formerly provided through PEDA and Family Engagement, like the Family Leadership Institute (formerly known as the Parent Leadership Institute), the Resource Hub at North Technical High School, Lunch & Learn virtual series, workshops, and more.
To learn more and keep up to date on the great events hosted by FACE during the 2022-23 school year, visit www.ssdmo.org/face.

- VISION: for the future of your child.
- KNOWLEDGE: to help effectively participate in your child's education.
- LEADERSHIP SKILLS: to improve the educational climate for all children.
- ACCESS: to new resources, friends, and experts to help you on your journey.

Hazelwood SSD Parent Advisory Council
The Hazelwood SSD Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is a cross-categorical group of parents of children receiving services from the Special School District. It is a volunteer organization made up of parents, SSD and Hazelwood administrators who are committed to identifying and building upon the strengths of all children in the Hazelwood School District. Hazelwood Parent Advisory Council provides a forum for parents to meet other parents and share information concerning their children and resources.
