Substitute Information

  • We are pleased that we are partners with Educational Services, Inc. (ESI). All interested substitute applicants will be employed and paid through ESI. Interested applicants need to apply online. You may contact ESI at 480-719-3271 or hr@esiaz.us.

    We value Deer Valley’s substitute teachers who play a vital role in our students’ academic success and achievement. We utilize a significant amount of substitutes each year and expect adherence to the same high standards and expectations as our regular classroom teachers. Substitute teachers contribute a great deal to the children of our community.

    There is a daily need for high quality substitute teachers in Deer Valley. An Automated Substitute Calling System and website are used to request substitutes and make the assignments. Substitutes are trained on the automated system prior to accepting their first job. Substitutes are paid $130.00 per day, and $65.00 for half day. Long term positions are paid $130.00 per day for the first 20 days, and then increased to the daily rate of $175.00 on the 21st consecutive day.

    For further information you may contact Sara Stevens, DVUSD Substitute Specialist @ sara.stevens@dvusd.org or 623-445-5061. Questions regarding obtaining a substitute certificate can be directed to Arizona Department of Education at 602-542-4367.

     

     


  • Substitute teachers play a crucial role in maintaining educational continuity when regular teachers are absent. They often face unique challenges, such as stepping into unfamiliar classrooms, managing diverse student needs, and adapting to different teaching styles. Substitute recognition is the act of acknowledging and appreciating the work of substitute teachers. DVUSD every quarter during the school year recognizes fifteen #Extraordinary Substitutes with a ceremony held at District Office with Dr. Finch.  DVUSD recognizes Certified Substitutes, Classified Substitutes, and Nurse Substitutes who excel in DVUSD's Core Values.
