Classified Substitutes

The Mount Baker School District has an ongoing need for Classified Substitute Para-Educators.   Para-educators are positive role models, greeting students as they enter and leave the school building, supervising students in a variety of settings with varying amounts of structure and often accompany students as they move around the building.    Para-educators under the guidance of licensed staff members, help organize and maintain the physical space, keep records and monitor behavior and learning.  Para-educators follow guidelines established by the school district to protect the safety and well-being of students and staff. 

If you are interested in substituting as a Para-educator or any other classified position which includes; Secretarial, Food Service, Custodial/Maintenance and Transportation, applications can be picked up at the District Office or mailed to you by contacting the substitute coordinator Gitana Jensen @ gjensen@mtbaker.wednet.edu or by calling 360-383-2001.  If e-mailing please indicate name and address where you would like the application mailed.
