Dear students, staff, families and community,
SUBSTITUTE JOB FAIRS
Join us for one of two upcoming Substitute Job Fair opportunities being held in the Blaine School District Boardroom. (This is adjacent to the district office parking lot at 765 H Street, and is often referred to as "the roundhouse", because of its shape.) District staff members will be there to answer your questions and assist with the application process.
Mon. Sept. 19th 2-6 P.M.
Mon. Sept. 26th 7-11 A.M.
There will also be fingerprint services available for applicants for a fee of only $20! If you would like us to expedite your background check by mailing your fingerprints the same day, please read the information on our Substitutes page about Fingerprint Background Checks and bring the necessary payment with you.
We are always hiring substitutes for teaching, nursing, administrative assistants, bus drivers, food services, paraeducators and more! We are currently accepting applications for Emergency Substitute Teachers! If you have a bachelor's degree (or higher) in any field, and have an interest in subbing, please view the requirements on our new Substitutes page.
This week in grades K-12 on our main campus we had an average of SIX positions a day go unfilled. We know this is a national problem, and it will take all of us working together to improve things. Please help to spread the word about our openings and the job fair opportunities!
TOO SICK FOR SCHOOL?
We’ve had some questions about what COVID protocols are this year? The latest DOH guidelines about what to do about coming to school if you are symptomatic are available on our COVID-19 Updates & Info page.
