Online Application Introduction

The applications are broken down into two distinct types; Certified and General Employment. Certified applications are specifically targeted towards teaching positions. General applications are further broken down into Food Service, Office Personnel, Custodial and Maintenance, Bus Driver, and a Generic application form. In addition, Unit 5 Transfer Request Forms are available for Unit 5 teachers.

Please choose the appropriate application form for the position you are interested in.

Before filling out an application, please make sure you have all materials needed to complete your online application handy. This may include any certifications, endorsements, degree's, education lists, reference lists, and previous employer information. Having these ready will save you time while filling out your application.

If you have a resume, you may cut and paste it into the application form. The best way is to open your resume in your word processing program and then use the "Save As" feature to save it as a text document (.txt). Use the new text copy of your resume to cut and paste to the online application.

Provision is made for you to print out a copy of the application if you want to fill it out by hand and mail it in. These are found under the "Printable" heading in the menu on the top of this page.

Expect to spend approximately 15 - 30 minutes on your application. Instructions can be found here. Help can be found here.

Thank you,
