Substitute teachers, aides, and nurses play a vital role in ensuring that students’ daily routines, learning, and progress continue forward in a positive and effective manner while the teacher of record, instructional aide, or nurse is unavailable. Dripping Springs ISD values your interest in making this important contribution to the education of our students!

The district regularly adds new substitute teachers throughout the school year. Visit the Substitute Application Information page to see if applications are currently being accepted, and check DSISD's online application system for the latest postings.

Applicants will be contacted by e-mail approximately two weeks prior to the required substitute training course, and must complete a criminal history background check at their own expense. Additional paperwork will be delivered via the notification process and will need to be completed prior to the training course..
