📣 Now Hiring Substitute Teachers & Paraprofessional Substitutes!
Guymon Public Schools is looking for dependable, caring individuals to join our team and support classrooms across the district.

Here’s what you need to know ⬇️

👩‍🏫 Substitute Teachers – $100/day
Substitute teachers teach in the classroom on their own, following lesson plans left by the teacher. This role is great for people who are confident leading a class and enjoy working independently with students.

🧩 Paraprofessional Substitutes – $75/day
Paraprofessional substitutes do NOT teach alone. Instead, they help support the classroom teacher, assist students, and help with daily activities. This is a wonderful option for individuals who want to work in schools, but prefer a support role rather than leading instruction.

Whether you’re a retired educator, a parent with flexible time, a college student, or someone looking to make a positive impact in our schools — we’d love to have you apply!
