The Calendar View
The Fort Mill School District, is always looking for qualified substitutes to fill in for our teachers and staff when they can't be here. If you have a passion for working with students, we encourage you to apply on our website to be a substitute in our fast-growing district. Complete the application, submit 2 references, and pass a background check. Once the application process is completed and screened, qualified candidates will be invited to attend a 1 day mandatory training class at our district office to learn our processes and helpful tips to use in the classroom. Substitutes are required to work a minimum of 3 days a month to remain active in our system. Substitutes are part-time intermittent employees and have no contract with Fort Mill School District. Employment is on a day-to-day basis.
If you have a teaching certificate and are interested in being a Long Term Substitute, you may contact our Substitute Coordinator, Shari Hartley at hartleys@fortmillschools.org or apply by clicking on the link above.

Spacey Speech Tips from our Amazing Speech Therapists
Listen well and avoid interrupting…
Many of us are so used to expressing our views that we tend to disregard what other people are saying. If you want to become a better communicator, the first step must be to learn how to become an active listener. This entails (unsurprisingly) more listening and less talking.

Here are some idioms using common Thanksgiving vocabulary. This is a fun activity where students must take their best guess at what the idioms mean.Take this activity a step further by asking them to use the idioms correctly in their own sentences. These sentences can be written or spoken.

Transportation Changes
Parents are encouraged to have a consistent mode of transportation for their child to eliminate confusion and the potential for a child going home the incorrect way. However, we realize that there are times when a transportation change needs to be made. We prefer all changes in writing via email.
In the event you need to change your child's transportation, please send an email to the child’s teacher and to our receptionist, Ms. Storms at stormsj@fortmillschools.org. All changes must be made by 1:30pm. Students will be sent home their usual way if no communication has been received from the parents.
