To Call or Not to Call?
I recently applied to a local school district for an open position that I had heard about. I heard about it through a friend that works for the district, and it was a quick vacancy due to a sudden retirement. They had asked for the web based application to be filled out by 1/13, for the position to be filled 1/31. I completed the application on time and I also forwarded them my resume, letters of recommendation, certification etc.
Fast forward to last Thursday 1/27 where they called and requested writing samples from me ((3 letters of recommendation written BY me (I'm a guidance counselor) and a sample lesson plan as their counselors spend alot of time in the classroom))
To make a long story short, I guess I want some advice...do I call them? WIth all the snow we've been having it just might be that they havent been in school to review the documents from the applicants, or do I just let it go and keep waiting. I just feel that if they asked for a writing sample, that they had to have atleast LIKED my application and documents?
Thanks in advance if you got this far

This. It's best to make sure they received what you sent them.
I hadnt seen aegrish's comment before lunch so I gave him a call to check in to make sure he recieved all my documents since I hadnt had confirmation. He said that the scheduling process was taking a bit longer, but that they're looking at thursday/friday next week and when he schedules them I'll be getting one
thanks for the advice girls
I appreciate it
