How will I know the status of my application?
Once you submit a completed online application through TalentEd, you will receive a confirmation email. You can log into your TalentEd account at any time to:
- View or edit your application
- Check the status of your references
- See if reference feedback forms have been submitted
Note: It is your responsibility to follow up with any references who haven't returned their forms.

How do I schedule an interview?
Start by completing your online employment application and applying for any open teaching positions listed on our NCS Employment Opportunities page. Each job posting includes the contact information for the hiring principal.
You may reach out to a principal directly to express interest. However, if they wish to move forward, they will contact you to schedule an interview.
Please reach out to the Human Resources Department if you have additional questions or email us at [email protected]. Thank you for your interest in teaching with our district!
