First Day at Work/School In-Service Days
Principals will recommend an estimated starting date, if you are hired after the first day of school. The HR staff will work closely with you and other departments to meet that expected date. HR reserves the right to determine your starting date depending on the completion of your paperwork; you will not be allowed to begin work without the completion of the I-9 Verification form in the Talent Ed System, verification of 3 forms of identification, completion of the personnel data form and a fingerprint clearance submitted to HR.
New Employee Orientation
All new employees are required to attend one of the three, “New Employee Orientation” sessions offered in July. Information regarding the date, time, location, pre-work and what to bring will be emailed to you after the hiring process has started.
