About Santa Fe South & Hills Elementary


Santa Fe South Charter Schools (SFS) is a free public charter school district serving the south side of Oklahoma City for more than 20 years. Our mission is grounded in high expectations, strong relationships, and a deep belief that all students—regardless of background—deserve an excellent, joyful education that prepares them for long-term success.

Hills Elementary is one of Santa Fe South's longest-standing elementary campuses, opening during the 2015–2016 school year as the network's second elementary school. Located in a beautifully reimagined former department store in Crossroads Mall, Hills serves students in PreK through 5th grade and reflects the vibrancy, resilience, and strength of the surrounding southside community. Hills is a campus where rigorous academics and joyful classrooms go hand in hand, and where educators are deeply committed to continuous growth, collaboration, and collective responsibility for student success.

Position Summary


The Kindergarten Teacher at Hills Elementary is responsible for delivering high-quality, standards-aligned instruction across core content areas, with a strong emphasis on early literacy, foundational math skills, and social-emotional development. This role is ideal for an educator who understands the critical importance of kindergarten as a foundational year, values instructional coaching, and is committed to creating a joyful, structured, and academically rigorous classroom environment where all students thrive.

  • Plan and internalize lessons with fidelity, including preparing materials, anticipating misconceptions, and rehearsing instructional strategies
  • Collaborate closely with grade-level teammates, instructional coaches, and campus leadership to analyze student data and adjust instruction accordingly
  • Use formative and summative assessments to provide targeted instruction, interventions, and enrichment
  • Establish a structured, joyful, and inclusive classroom culture with clear academic and behavioral expectations
  • Support students' social-emotional growth and development through consistent routines, relationship-building, and responsive classroom practices
  • Build strong, respectful relationships with students, families, and colleagues, and communicate student progress regularly with families
  • Contribute to campus-wide initiatives, professional learning communities, and the continued growth of Hills Elementary

  • Qualifications

  • Training in LETRS or other science of reading practices

  • Why Join Hills & Santa Fe South?
