Handicap access is available by parking to the left of Memorial Hall and entering the doors closest to the Unitarian Society. The elevator is located on the first floor to your right. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor. Take a right when you exit the elevator.

Can I submit a resume for any future openings you may have?

No, we only accept applications for current, open positions. Those positions are posted on our bulletin board and on the website, and we also advertise most positions in the Daily Hampshire Gazette and the Sunday Republican.

How do I become a substitute in the Northampton School Department?

If you want to be a substitute Teacher, you must have your bachelor's degree. If you want to be a substitute Nurse, you must be an R.N. If you want to be a substitute Instructional Assistant or Individual Pupil Assistant you must have a high school diploma and previous experience with children.
You must complete and submit all application materials. Once the CORI background check is returned and approved by the Superintendent, you will be called in to complete payroll information. Once this process is complete you will be added to the substitute list and you can begin taking assignments.
