How Do I Start The Process of Becoming a Sub?

Substitutes must be 21 years old and complete annual paperwork and tutorials. Also, new substitutes are required to attend orientation.  In addition, all subs must have a clear Oklahoma State Department of Education (OKSDE) criminal history report on file.

We hold an orientation for new substitutes to go over everything you need to be prepared for the classroom.

New Sub Orientation is held at the EPS Administration Center, 1001 W. Danforth Road, in the Board of Education Building Conference Rooms at the south end of the building. A link to attend the two-hour, in-person training will be included in the New Substitute onboarding tasks.
