Interviews are scheduled to take place in-person at Cypress Fairbanks ISD January 4th, 6th and 8th. Virtual interviews are scheduled for January 11th, 12th, 14th and 19th. There are a limited number of interview slots reserved each date, and they are filled on a first request basis.
If interviews occur in-person, please plan on spending at least four hours with us. If you are interviewing in the morning, you will begin your day with us at 8am. Interviews, a tour of a campus within our district and time with current interns and staff will also occur. If you are interviewing in the afternoon, then your arrival time will be around 11am. Your afternoon will be spent in the interview, campus tour, and visits with interns and staff.
For virtual interviews, four hours should be reserved for interviews, time for current intern, staff Q&A's and a virtual tour.
For both virtual and in-person interviews we will ask to take a photo of you as a memory keeping tool after we have concluded all interviews. You may, however, elect not to have your photo taken if you choose. This choice will have no impact on your interview or ranking status.
