Find a rewarding part-time position as a GCPS substitute teacher!

If you’re looking for part-time employment with a flexible schedule, become a GCPS substitute teacher!

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is hiring… If you can see yourself in the classroom, we want to see you at our next virtual Q&A! On Tuesday, Oct. 12, GCPS will hold a virtual information session for substitute teachers and special education paraprofessionals from 4 to 5 p.m. Register for the session and we’ll see YOU at 4 p.m. on Oct. 12!

GCPS substitutes play a critical role in our students' education, making a difference in the lives of children every day! As a substitute, you can work in our schools on daily or longer assignments. You choose the assignments you want to accept and determine your own schedule! Compensation ranges from $130 a day up to $150 per day for extended assignments (10 or more days in the same classroom).

Work as a substitute can provide valuable experience for college students considering an education major, workers thinking of a career change, or those looking for the opportunity to teach when and where they want to work.

Substitute teachers who work at least 45 days during the fall semester (through Dec. 17) will be eligible to receive a one-time incentive payment of $500, above and beyond regular earned pay. Substitutes who work at least 45 days and show proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be eligible to receive an additional one-time incentive payment of $500.

How to apply… Applicants for substitute teaching positions must complete an online application, provide a reference, provide college diploma or transcripts (at least 60 semester hours or 90 quarters hours from an accredited institution), and complete GCPS Substitute Teacher Training Program (unless applicant has a valid or expired teaching certificate or has completed practicum or student teaching in GCPS). Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Resources available for food assistance

GCPS meal service returns Jan. 6

Under the revised calendar, classes do not begin until Thursday, Jan. 7. However, GCPS will begin meal service the day before, Wednesday, Jan. 6. Meals will be available for curbside pick-up at schools, and, for that day only (Jan. 6), the district will deliver meals along all middle school bus routes countywide. We will return to a curbside pick-up model on Jan. 7.

During Winter Break, GCPS will not be providing meal service. However, we know that some families in our community will need food assistance during the break.

If you know of someone who needs food assistance or access to other support, please share these community resources:

FoodFinder offers a mobile and web app (created by a GCPS graduate) that allows families to find food distribution sites based on their location. Sites may include food pantries, co-ops, and drive-through distribution locations. (The app also designates schools as meal providers. Service at our schools will resume after the break.)
United Way’s 2-1-1 Contact Center is an information and referral resource that connects people to the essential health and human services they need. Due to extremely heavy call volumes at this time, United Way recommends that families access 2-1-1 online to chat with an interactive 24/7 chatbot to find assistance with food, housing, utilities, and other resources. 2-1-1 also has a mobile app. (Download from the Apple Store or Google Play.) Or, text GACOVID19 to 898-211 to receive a list of available resources related to the impact of COVID-19.
Gwinnett Cares, powered by The Gwinnett Coalition, works with community partners to provide information of available food assistance in the county as well as resources for housing, healthcare, childcare, and more. Check out @Gwinnett Cares on Facebook for posts on pop-up pantries, mobile markets, food box programs, and community kitchens.

New tool gives parents easy access to student info

GCPS families have a new tool that makes it even easier to access their student’s information on the Parent Portal.
