Substitute Teacher Application Letter

Please read the announcement for important information before applying.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Applicant, 

Your interest in substitute teaching for Williamson County Schools is greatly appreciated.  You can be considered for Substitute Teacher by simply applying online. We do not require anything else until we are able to hire you.  Below is information that should answer most of your questions.  You may feel free to contact Sam White at samw@wcs.edu if you have any other questions.

Educational Requirement:  We only require a High School Diploma or GED to be a Substitute Teacher, although we pay a greater salary for those with undergraduate credits and degrees. 

Background Checks:  We will not ask for fingerprints or background checks until after we hire you.  It will cost $48, but we can initiate a refund after working 10 days.  You must request the refund by emailing Sam White at samw@wcs.edu.

Training:  A new hire orientation class is required for all applicants.  Those applicants without Student Teaching, a current or expired teaching license, or a Master’s in Education will be required to attend an extended new hire orientation class that will include Substitute Teacher training. 

We have orientation classes all year round on a needs basis, but due to limited class sizes, they are invitation only.  We will email an invitation to you with details of the orientation class when we have a space for you in one of the orientation classes.  A RSVP to the email invitation is required for attendance to the orientation classes.  Also, the orientation classes are planned several weeks in advance, so do not expect an immediate contact other than the confirmation that your application has been submitted.

Sincerely, 

Sam White
