Application Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I apply for a specific position?
To be considered for a position with the Francis Howell School District, applicants must submit a completed online application during the posting period listed on the active job posting. Applications submitted after the posting has closed cannot be considered.
May I apply for more than one position?
Yes. Applicants are encouraged to apply for all positions for which they meet the minimum qualifications and have an interest. A separate application must be submitted for each position to ensure the appropriate hiring administrator receives your application materials.
How long will my application remain active?
Applications remain active for one (1) year from the date of submission. During that time, your application may be reviewed for current or future vacancies that match your qualifications. After one year, applicants must submit a new application to remain eligible for consideration.
How are substitute applications processed?
Applications for substitute positions are reviewed monthly. Applicants selected to move forward in the hiring process will be contacted through AppliTrack to schedule an interview or discuss the next steps.
I am currently employed by the Francis Howell School District. Which application should I use?
- Current Substitute employees are considered external applicants for all positions and must apply through the External Applicant portal.
- Current Support Staff employees who wish to apply for a Certified position (such as a teaching or certificated professional position) must also apply through the External Applicant portal.
- Employees applying for positions within the same employment group should follow the application process outlined in the appropriate applicant portal.
Which email address should I use when applying?
Applicants should use a personal email address when creating and submitting an application. Please do not use a work or school-issued email address, including an FHSD email account, as this helps ensure uninterrupted communication throughout the hiring process.
Can I update my application after it has been submitted?
Yes. Applicants may log into their AppliTrack account at any time to update their contact information, employment history, education, certifications, and other application materials. We encourage applicants to keep their information current.
How will I know if my application has been received?
After successfully submitting an application, you will receive a confirmation email from AppliTrack. You may also log into your account at any time to view the status of your submitted applications.
Who should I contact if I need assistance with the application process?
