Are you interested in becoming a substitute teacher?
If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher and you do not have the required 36 college hours, you can do an online course that will allow you to get a substitute certificate. Here is the link to that course, and here is the link to the DESE web page that gives you more information about what you need to do to get a substitute certification. Our daily rate for subs for the 2024-25 school year will be $100/day!
Please make sure your student's meal bills are paid in full by 5/10/2024.
If you have a 7th grader or 11th grader, PLEASE READ!
Students entering 8th grade for the 2024-25 school year are required to have a Tdap and MCV vaccine before starting school.
