Please Consider Working as a Substitute Teacher or Substitute Classroom Assistant!
- Many districts across the country are reporting shortages of substitute teachers; WSD is experiencing the same. On any one day, Lincoln Elementary has been short anywhere from 0-8 staff members. Please consider supporting WSD and Lincoln by applying to be a substitute teacher or classroom assistant. Please see DPI's requirement for teacher substitute. We are also looking for paraprofessional support positions.
- Three-Year Short-Term TEACHER Substitute License
- This license is for applicants who hold an associate degree or higher from an accredited college or university and who have successfully completed an approved substitute training program ,but have not completed a state-approved educator preparation program. It allows the license holder to be a short-term (no more than 45 days in a specific assignment) substitute in any subject and in any grade level
Student MUST Mask When Riding a Bus Per TSA Ruling
This is a gentle reminder that your student(s) is required to wear a mask on all school buses per a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) ruling. This ruling, which went into effect on August 20, will be in place until at least March 18, 2022.
If your student(s) is in need of a mask, all Wausau School District schools have them available. There are also masks on all First Student buses.
Thank you for your help!
