The safety and health of all students and staff is EMS ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÉç’s top priority. As COVID-19 is an ever-present concern, here is what the district is doing to keep students and staff safe: 

• Swift Action. EMS ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÉç is proactive in quarantining students and teachers, and following CDC guidelines. This means more people are sent home, but this action also protects students and staff. This decision creates a greater need for substitutes. 
• Quarantined but Working. If a teacher is absent, it is most likely that they are “Quarantined but Working.”  These teachers are not ill but are in quarantine because they were near someone who tested positive.  Most continue to lead classes remotely, but campuses need substitutes in the classroom with the students while the teacher is leading them from home. 
• Safety Measures. We follow CDC guidelines, including: 
  • Disinfecting every building every night by spraying a disinfectant 
  • Providing PPE for anyone who needs it at every campus 
  • Following protocols during the day, including requiring everyone in the schools to wear a mask 
  • Providing masks, gloves, and products for disinfecting in every classroom 
  • Providing hand sanitizer at every entry and in every classroom 

Working as a substitute is a great service to the community. Apply today or encourage someone to apply online at
