Building Subs Needed...

Non-certified subs must have 60 credit hours from a college/university to sub with a permit. They must go to EDUStaff.org and complete the application/hiring process (this includes fingerprinting) to work as a sub in our district. Once this is done, we can consider them for a building sub assignment.


If you are interested and you have these qualifications, please reach out to Ruth Wilson at the Admin. Building.

SACC Aides Needed....

The district has approved a $250 signing bonus to any aide who is hired for this year and works for at least 90 days.
