Greenwich Public Schools
Date Available:

Greenwich Public Schools seeks building substitutes for the 2026-27 school year. If you are a friendly and competent professional with an interest in education, then we're interested in you!
Compensation for building substitutes is competitive, with the following increases effective the 2026-27 school year:

  • Daily pay increases to $190 after 6 months of service
  • Daily pay increases to $200 after 1 year of service

What Is a Building Substitute?
Building substitutes are embedded within a single school community for the duration of a school year. They report to the same school each day, checking in with clerical and administrative staff to receive assignments. As an integral member of the team, building substitutes are flexible, filling short-term vacancies created by teacher and professional assistant absences. From covering for someone stuck in traffic to filling in for a teacher on a week-long medical leave, building substitutes are onsite and can be mobilized quickly. Their daily interactions allow them to develop a collegial relationship with other teachers and support staff. The benefits of enlisting the help of a building substitute are clear, and building substitutes themselves also benefit as they have the opportunity to be seen as regular and valued members of a school community. All members of the school community benefit from the advantages these special substitutes provide. Teachers are reassured that their classrooms are in good hands, while students experience greater security and improved education when greeted by these familiar faces.
Building Substitute Teacher Responsibilities:
  • Adhere to the curriculum lesson plans assigned by the regular teacher
  • Follow procedures and achieve lesson goals
  • Assign and explain homework
  • Oversee students outside of the classroom, including in the hallways and cafeteria
  • Comply with all school regulations and policies at all times
  • Take attendance and document daily notes
  • Ensure classroom and work is kept clean and orderly
  • Oversee the normal classroom rhythms and activities
  • Compile a report for the teacher for when he/she returns

Building Substitute Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree, or the equivalent, required for building substitute teachers; Associate's degree, or the equivalent, required for building substitute professional assistants
  • Prior experience working with children preferred
  • Must be detail-oriented and able to follow written and verbal instructions
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

Application Process:
  • Please complete the Frontline application, adding a letter of intent, resume, and copies of college transcript(s) if available.

Note: The above description is illustrative of tasks and responsibilities. It is not meant to be all inclusive of every task or responsibility.
