  • In order to obtain a placement at NSD, the college/university must send a request to Human Resources, Felicity Hanks ([email protected]).   The HR office will work with the applicable principals and/or department heads to find a suitable placement for student teachers.  Once confirmed, the District will follow up with the university and provide the name and contact information for the cooperating teacher.
  • Student teachers must have the required clearances in order to be in NSD buildings. The Student must create a profile and uploads clearances to App Garden. https://appgarden5.volunteertracker.bchex.io/voltrackpa97502.nsf/Home.xsp  The required clearances can be found at: https://www.neshaminy.org/Page/26162
