(2026- 2027) Music Teacher (Part-Time), Notre Dame Elementary School
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Job Title: Music Teacher (we don't repeat as heading). FLSA: Non-Exempt, Job Status: Part-Time, Reporting Functions: Reports to Principal. Job Function: Provides daily instruction and selects age-appropriate activities in the curriculum area of music. Evaluate and record information on each child's developmental progress and provide feedback to parents.
Then Duties And Responsibilities list many bullet-like sentences.
Additional Condition Of Employment: due to nature and mission of Catholic Church, all employees bound to exhibit respect for teachings and discipline of Church regarding matters of faith and morals, including maintaining a lifestyle that is in conformity with teachings of Catholic Church.
Educational Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Music or Music Education preferred. PA Teacher certification preferred.

PRIOR TO INTERVIEW: Clear records of Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Record Check (PATCH), Pennsylvania Child Abuse History, and Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Background Fingerprint Check as required under Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Act 153 of 2014 (at least 1 year old.) As well as attendance at a Protecting God's Children class and Mandated Reporter Training.
Physical Demands: description.
Working Conditions: Normal classroom setting. Working days are Tuesday and Thursday between 7:15 am -3:15 pm.; Wednesday between 11:15pm to 3:15pm. May be required to assist with special duties and work outside the normal school day to attend school-related events.
Then application instructions: link, email, etc. We must remove application instructions.
Also remove EEO line at end.
We need to decide sections.
We have content for:
- About the role: could include Job Function, reporting, status, FLSA, etc. Could be a short paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list duties.
- Requirements: could combine Educational Requirements, Other Requirements, Prior to Interview clearances, Physical Demands, Working Conditions? But we have separate sections: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real specific content.
Qualifications: Educational Requirements and maybe PA Teacher certification preferred.
Skills: Other Requirements list communication, understanding child development, supervision, fairness, patience, energy, calm response, confidentiality, credibility, integrity, self-confidence.
Requirements: Could be the clearances and prior interview requirements? Or we could treat "Requirements" as the mandatory items (clearances, training). However the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real specific content.
We have content for About the role (job function, reporting, status). We have Responsibilities (list). We have Qualifications (education, certification). We have Skills (other requirements). We have Requirements? Could be the clearances and training (PRIOR TO INTERVIEW). Also Physical Demands and Working Conditions could be considered under Requirements? But maybe we can put them under Requirements as well (physical demands, working conditions). However we need to avoid filler.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule content besides schedule info in Working Conditions (working days and times). That could be considered Schedule. The posting includes schedule: Working days are Tuesday and Thursday between 7:15 am -3:15 pm.; Wednesday between 11:15pm to 3:15pm. That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that.
Pay: Not mentioned. So we should not create Pay section.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So no Benefits.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements (clearances, training, physical demands, working conditions?), Schedule.
But we need to check if we should separate Physical Demands and Working Conditions into Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions" not in list. Since only allowed headings are those listed, we must fit into those. Could put Physical Demands and Working Conditions under Requirements (makes sense as job requirements). Or we could put them under About the role? Probably Requirements.
Thus:
About the role
... (job function, reporting, status, FLSA)
Responsibilities
- ... each duty as list item
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Music or Music Education preferred.
- PA Teacher certification preferred.
Skills
- Effective communication with parents, students, and co-workers in a positive and enthusiastic manner. ... etc.
Requirements
- Clear records of Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Record Check (PATCH), Pennsylvania Child Abuse History, and FBI Criminal Background Fingerprint Check (Act 153 of 2014, at least 1 year old).
- Attendance at a Protecting God's Children class and Mandated Reporter Training.
- Physical demands: regularly required to sit, walk, stand; talk or hear; use hands to operate standard office equipment; occasional reaching and lifting up to 10 pounds; vocal communication for speaking and singing; hearing for normal spoken levels and singing; visual acuity for preparing/analyzing written/computer data, determining accuracy, observing surroundings.
- Working conditions: normal classroom setting; working days Tuesday and Thursday 7:15 am–3:15 pm; Wednesday 11:15 am–3:15 pm (note: original says 11:15pm but likely a typo; we keep as given). May be required to assist with special duties and work outside normal school day for school-related events.
Schedule
Working days: Tuesday and Thursday 7:15 am–3:15 pm; Wednesday 11:15 am–3:15 pm. May be required to assist with special duties and work outside the normal school day to attend school‑related events.
But we have duplicated schedule info; we already included working conditions in Requirements. Might be redundant. Better to put schedule only in Schedule section, and not repeat in Requirements. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep schedule info in Schedule section and not duplicate in Requirements. But we still need to include physical demands somewhere; we could put physical demands under Requirements (makes sense). Working conditions could be omitted if we put schedule separately. However working conditions includes normal classroom setting; that's substantive. Could be included in Requirements as well. But we might just include normal classroom setting in Requirements as part of working conditions. Let's think: The posting says "Working Conditions: Normal classroom setting. Working days are Tuesday and Thursday between 7:15 am -3:15 pm.; Wednesday between 11:15pm to 3:15pm. May be required to assist with special duties and work outside the normal school day to attend school-related events." Thus we have two pieces: normal classroom setting (working condition) and schedule (days/times). So we can put normal classroom setting in Requirements (as a condition) and schedule in Schedule section. Thus Requirements will include clearances, training, physical demands, normal classroom setting. Schedule will include days/times and special duties. Now we need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. Now we need to remove boilerplate: The lines about "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed..." we should remove as it's boilerplate. Also "Any other duties as assigned by the Principal." is part of duties; we can keep as a duty item. The line "Additional Condition Of Employment Due to the nature and mission of the Catholic Church..." is substantive (requirement about Catholic teachings). Should we include that? It's a condition of employment; could be under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? It's a requirement about lifestyle conformity. We'll include under Requirements as a bullet. Also "PRIOR TO INTERVIEW: Clear records..." we already included. Now we need to format as HTML fragment only, no or . Use for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
Now let's craft the content.

Thus paragraph: "Reports to the Principal. Provides daily instruction and selects age‑appropriate music activities, evaluates and records each child’s developmental progress, and shares feedback with parents. Position is part‑time and non‑exempt."
