We take great care in hiring individuals who share our core values and are committed to creating a positive and respectful learning environment. Apply here.

• Kind, patient, and respectful

• Capable of managing a classroom and multitasking

• Flexible and able to adapt to different situations

Schedule & Flexibility

One of the biggest benefits of substitute teaching is the flexibility. Substitutes have the freedom to choose when and where they work. To remain active in our system, we ask that substitutes work a minimum of 4 days per month to ensure we have adequate coverage across our schools.

Compensation

• Half Day (4 hours or less): $60.00

• Full Day (4 hours or more): $120.00

• Fridays: Early release (approx. 5.5 hours) – qualifies for full day pay

• Monthly Bonus: $150 for working 15 days or more in a pay period.

Why Substitute teach?
This position is a great fit for:

• Individuals seeking part-time, flexible work

• Those exploring a future career in education

• Community members who want to make a meaningful impact

  Substitute teaching is a rewarding way to get involved, gain experience in our schools, and make a difference in students' lives.
