Canyon ISD Substitutes

Welcome

We appreciate your interest in substitute teaching with Canyon ISD. If you are disabled, please advise the district of any need for a reasonable accommodation. If you need assistance completing the application, you may call the CISD Human Resources Department at 806-677-2607 or visit the District Support Center and ask for assistance.  

Application Process for Subs

*Note: You will receive confirmation and reminder emails at each stage of the process.*

1. Submit Your Application

Complete the online job application and click Submit. Check your inbox and spam folder regularly for updates, and mark our emails as "Safe" or "Not Spam" to ensure you don't miss notifications.

2. Complete the Background Check

You will receive an email link to complete a background check questionnaire. Fill out all required fields, ensuring you do not check the box that declines the background check.

3. Verify Reference Contact Details

Once your background check clears, email surveys will be sent to your listed references. Ensure all reference email addresses are accurate and up to date to prevent delays. At least two completed reference surveys are required to move forward.

4. Registration Email

Once we receive two reference surveys, you will get an email confirming that your application is complete. Depending on the current Sub Training timeline, this message will also include registration details for either the upcoming or next available substitute training class.
