Substitute Teacher Hiring Process

Thank you for your interest in becoming a substitute teacher with Roanoke Rapids Graded School District (RRGSD). Substitute teachers play an important role in the everyday operation of our school district. Substitutes are considered employees-at-will and serve on an as-needed basis.

In order to be considered for employment as a substitute teacher, an individual must be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma or its equivalency (GED) and must be approved by the RRGSD Board of Education.

The following information will help guide you through the process:

· RRGSD requires that all applicants for all positions complete the NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) online application . Your application will be submitted within 24 hours.  To make sure that your application has been received, you may contact Gwen Jones by calling 252-519-7100 or emailing jonesg.co@rrgsd.org .

· Your application will be reviewed, references called, and a complete background check will be completed. If acceptable, your application will be submitted to the Board of Education for approval at its next regular meeting.

· You will be contacted by the Human Resources Department after your employment is approved by the Board of Education. At that time, you will be instructed to complete the New Employment Forms located on our website. You will need to bring the completed forms to the Human Resources Department when you attend our mandatory orientation which is required for all new substitute teachers. Orientations are scheduled several times throughout the year and you will be notified of the day/time of our next scheduled meeting.
