    HELP is available on all screens. Look for the word HELP or the Question mark Icon.
          Click on either for assistance.

  • DATA ENTRY
    Most fields in the system are “drop down boxes” meaning all you have to do is select the appropriate item. Where dates are required be sure to enter those as mm/dd/yyyy, example 03/20/2006.

  • REGISTRATION PROCESS (You might find it helpful to print this page as you go through the registration process.)
    Because there are separate functions involved for registration we do ask that you read the options available to you before beginning your application process.

    • Option One - First Time Visitor
      If you have never submitted an application to our district, you will want to click on First Time User to begin the process. The First Time User will take you to a screen that will ask you to enter your Profile information (Name, Address, Contact Info and your email address). All required fields are denoted with a red asterisk
      *. When you have completed the fields, be sure to click on the ADD PROFILE button at the bottom of the screen. After you complete the Add Profile, the system will immediately send you an email that will contain your system password and this will make you a Registered User.  Open your email and obtain the password. Now, return to the system, but this time click on Registered User. Then you will be asked to enter your email address and your password. Once you are in the system you can click on My Profile and change your password rather than using the system generated one.
      You should only use the First Time User option ONE TIME. After that you should always go in as a Registered User.
    • Option Two - Previous Employee or Previous Applicant
      ONLY use this option if you have submitted an application for a position with our district and the system did not find you under Registered User, OR you are a PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE with the district and are interested in returning. If you are neither, then use the First Time Visitor option instead.  

1.   PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE: This option works the same as the First Time User, except you will be asked to submit your Social Security number. Normally we do not request the SSN, but your records are archived under your SSN. Therefore when you register with your SSN the system will check for your previous records and make them available immediately.  This means that any information you previously had on file will be available to you.  After you enter your SSN and email address the system will send you an email that will contain your system password and this will make you a Registered User. Open your email and obtain the password. Now, return to the system, but this time click on Registered User. Then you will be asked to enter your email address and your password. Once you are in the system you can click on My Profile and change your password rather than using the system generated one.  If the system cannot find your SSN, then you will need to use Option One: First Time Visitor.  

2.   PREVIOUS APPLICANT:  If you submitted an application and the System cannot find your application, then your application has been archived.  You will be asked to enter your ID number and your email address. If you do not remember your ID number, you may request the system to send it to you. [IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IF YOU CHANGED EMAIL ACCOUNTS, YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE ACCESSIBLE.] If the system finds your application, it will send your ID number to your email account. Open your email and obtain the ID and continue following the instructions. 

You should only use the Previous Applicant-Previous Employee option ONE TIME. After that you should always go in as a Registered User.

  • RETURNING TO THE SYSTEM
    District employees should always enter the system using District Employee and no other option. For all other applicants, after completing the registration process as noted above, return as a Registered User for all further use. 

    • District Employee
      Only use this option if you are a district employee who is interested in making an application or transfer for another position. You will be asked to submit your employee ID number. Contact Human Resources for that number if you do not have it. Through this system you will have an opportunity to view all open positions and apply for any open position directly online.

    • Registered User
      Once you have either completed an initial Registration (First Time User) or you have reactivated your file by using the Previous Applicant or Previous Employee option, then you will ALWAYS enter the system by clicking on Registered User. Here you are asked to enter your email address as used on your application submission and your password. If you have forgotten your password there is an option to have it sent to you again.
