Additional Hiring and Onboarding Procedures

Substitute New Hire Orientation: This orientation is designed specifically for our daily substitutes. This day-long session allows for us to deep-dive into topics like classroom management, special education supports and much more with our Substitutes. See our Substitute New Hire Orientation Agenda

 

Annual Commitment

Substitutes must be willing to commit to working at least 20 days during the course of the school year to be eligible for hire and remain active on our rosters.

College Students

Any college student assigned as an FCPS intern will be automatically qualified to substitute. Students pursuing degrees in education will be exempt from the 20 day annual work requirement.

Retired Educators

If you are a retired FCPS teacher, you must still apply and complete all required background checks.

Transcripts and other employment verification steps will be waived, as appropriate.
