Dear Substitute Teacher Applicants:

Our need for flexible, dedicated substitute teachers is critical.  Please click on the substitute teacher application (above), complete it, and attach your resume. We suggest you also attach letters of recommendation, transcripts, and any other materials that you feel would support your inclusion on our substitute teacher list.  You will need to stop by the Central Office to complete the CORI request form (see below); please bring the completed application and other materials with you.

Who, Where, and How?

We provide per diem substitute teachers at four schools: Claypit Hill School, (Grades 1-5); Happy Hollow School (Grades 1-5); Loker School (Kindergarten); and Wayland Middle School (Grades 6-8).  School principals (or their designees) do the calling.  If a teacher is going to be out for five days or more, temporary teachers will be provided in all schools including the High School.  Substitute teachers will be called in advance, if possible; however, they may also receive calls early in the morning if a teacher is going to be out that day or in the evening for the next day. In some cases, substitutes are also provided for teacher assistants who work with special needs students.

CORI Check

State law requires schools to run a Criminal Offense Record Information (CORI) check on everyone who has contact with students.  Employment of any kind – salaried, hourly, or per diem – is contingent upon favorable review of your CORI report.  We are also required to see you in person to view a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) and attach a copy to the CORI form before submission to the Criminal History Systems Board.  Please stop off at the School Department Central Office (in the Wayland Town Building at 41 Cochituate Road; open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday) to complete your CORI request form and show your ID. You do not need an appointment, but it is advised that you call first. The Personnel Office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Your name cannot be added to our list until this requirement is met. If you have specific questions about this statute, please call Linda Lavenda at (508) 358-3773.

 

We look forward to hearing from you!
