The District Verification form will be emailed to you with instructions after

remain in the process. Additionally, candidates must also pass the
Spanish-Bilingual Language Assessment administered by the District.
TESTING PROCESS:
Many of our entry-level classifications use the same test(s) to assess
clerical skills. Therefore, if you apply for any other entry-level clerical
classifications, any valid scores will be certified and applied to other
classifications that you applied for as well.
If you have applied and recently tested for Parent Resource Assistant

met the 4 months re-take policy, you may not be able to re-test and have
to certify your prior scores.
The clerical skills assessment will assess your proficiency in Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel and computerized data entry
skills.
You must receive PASSING SCORES on all TEST MODULES, for all the
assessments, to remain in the selection process.
Candidates who receive a failing score on any test module will NOT be
eligible to move forward in the selection process. If you have existing
scores for this assessment that are less than a year old, at the time of
final scoring, those scores are valid as well and could be applied as your
final score if they are higher.
The scored questionnaire, which you will be completing as part of the
application process, will be worth 100% of a candidate's overall score
and will be used to rank order candidates on the resulting eligibility list.
Therefore, when completing the questionnaire, please make sure you
provide detailed responses to all the questions/statements.
If you are successful on the clerical skills assessments and meet the
minimum education and experience requirement, you will be invited to
the Spanish-Bilingual Language Assessment administered by the
District. If you are successful on all the assessments, you will be added
to the eligibility list provided you submit the High School diploma when
requested during the recruitment process.
The hiring departments have requested that we proceed with the
selection process in an expeditious and timely manner. To honor this
request we will be adhering to a pre-planned employment assessment
schedule.
