Employment Induction

 

 

Realizing that beginning teachers and those new to the District go through a period of adjustment to their new working and/or living environments, the Paris Independent School District strives to provide these new teachers with an induction program designed to ease them into their respective professional roles. When these basic orientation needs are met, an entry-level teacher is on the way to becoming a happy and healthy individual; a competent, successful teacher; and a self-actualized person.

  • actively recruits and hires competent teachers.
  • encourages teacher involvement in site-based decision-making.
  • provides many opportunities for professional growth through staff development activities.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

Submit from App
SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
