New Substitute Orientation (NSO)/Onboarding

• During NSO/Onboarding, you will complete new hire forms and receive your substitute badge.
•  

New Substitute Orientation (NSO)/Onboarding sessions are held once a month at the end of the month.

Note: We screen, interview, and hire large groups at a time; therefore, processing time does vary and can take a few weeks to complete.

Candidates can be expedited through the hiring process at the request of a campus, and only if the campus will potentially hire the candidate for a full-time position pending certification.

WE LOVE OUR RETIRED TEACHERS
