I'd like you to consider joining what is becoming one of the most exciting charter schools in this country. I believe that Faith Family Academy Charter will become the premier charter school district in Texas within a few short years.
We are making great progress in our charter schools in Oak Cliff and in Waxahachie. We have the same high standards and expectations for all students, and they are meeting them.
These great accomplishments by our schools are not a matter of luck. They are the result of the following:
- Hard work and dedication of our teachers, principals, and students
- A charter school staff working with a common purpose and a focus on the needs of children.
- Community support and parent determination. You won't find a Charter school community more dedicated to its school than FFA PTSO.
That's the kind of school we want you to consider joining, a school with a plan for success. Our teachers feel successful because they are raising student performance.
If you have years of teaching under your belt, we welcome your expertise. If this will be your first teaching job, we're going to provide you with the support you need for a successful first year. We're a charter school that believes in high standards for all children. We provide teachers and schools the necessary support to help meet those standards.
Faith Family Academy is a community that cares deeply about its schools. Our Parent Teacher & Student Organization (PTSO) is strong and a vibrant part of our schools.
Teaching is fun and very fulfilling, yet sometimes challenging. We all know it's the most important profession there is. Will you consider coming to Faith Family Academy Charter Schools and working with us to become the premier charter school in Texas? We hope you say, "YES!"

Eligibility
Full-time employees expected to work 20 hours per week or more are eligible for benefit programs. In addition, these employees are eligible for Faith Family Academy's $300 contribution towards TRS Medical premiums.
Enrollment
Employees are allowed to enroll in or make changes to their benefits coverages at three (3) distinct times:
New Hire Enrollment Period: New employees have thirty-one (31) days from their hire date to enroll in benefits. After this new hire enrollment window, benefit elections are locked until the following Annual Open Enrollment period, unless the employee has a qualifying event.
Annual Insurance Enrollment Period: Also called Open Enrollment, this period starts in July every year through August. All eligible employees may change, drop, or enroll in benefit coverages. Dates and deadlines are communicated before and during each year’s open enrollment period.
Qualifying Event Enrollment Period: The only time that employees can change benefits enrollment outside of the new hire or annual open enrollment window is if they experience a qualifying event. A qualifying event is any event that changes either your number of tax dependents or your access to healthcare. Examples of qualifying events include:
Birth, adoption, death, or guardianship of a child
A change in marital status (marriage, divorce, death)
A dependent’s loss of eligibility (attainment of a limiting age)
Gain or loss of other coverage (i.e. a spouse starts or ends a new job and is eligible for or loses insurance coverage)
Employees have thirty-one (31) days from the qualifying event date to elect changes in coverage. You must notify Mrs. Nunnelley at benefits@faithfamilyacademy.org, provide documentation of the qualifying event, and complete your amended enrollment for changes to take effect. Notifying the benefits department of the intent to make changes is not sufficient.
Effective Dates:
Coverage for qualifying employees begins as follows:
Medical: On the first day of work OR the first of the month following their hire date (employee's choice)
Example: An employee who begins work on August 5 would be able to have medical coverage starting either August 5 or September 1.
All other plans: On the first of the month following their hire date
Example: An employee who begins work on August 5 would have dental, vision, and all other insurance coverages (if elected) as of September 1.
Our benefits calendar year is September 1 - August 31.
