    Special Notes for Certificated and Classified Substitutes

     

    • Student teachers – Please submit official transcripts or clear copies of your official transcripts indicating your bachelor's degree to the HR Talent Management Department. You may upload your transcripts to your online application.
    • PE, art, and music – These substitute teaching jobs may be itinerant. This means you may travel to multiple sites in a day. Please read/listen carefully to the special instructions for jobs of this type. If you cannot or are not willing to travel, please do not take the job, or cancel the job more than one hour before start time.
    • Canceling a job – If you must cancel a job right before the start of the job, please call both Substitute Dispatch and the school and let them know you are canceling.
    • Illness – If you know you are not feeling well, please do not accept a job. This creates a problem for the school if you need to leave halfway through the job.
    • Military base access passes – Security rules for access to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson are in effect.
