Eugene School District 4J

Welcome, and congratulations on your new position with Eugene 4J! We’re excited to get you into our available assignments, where you will be directly helping to bolster our schools and community. Let’s walk through your onboarding preparations for new hire orientation.

If you have questions, you can reference our New Hire FAQs or contact us.

All employees who are not licensed and fingerprinted by the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) are required to be fingerprinted by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) in order to be employed with Eugene 4J. If you are licensed with TSPC OR if you have worked for 4J/another Oregon school district in the past AND have not moved out of the state since then, you are already covered and can skip this step.

Please note, you should not book an appointment until directed to by your HR representative.

The total cost for fingerprinting is $78.50, broken out below. The process is quick and easy:

1. Schedule an appointment with our third-party provider, Fieldprint Oregon. There are several Eugene/Springfield locations for your convienence. There is a $12.50 appointment fee that is paid when you book the appointment.
2. After you attend your appointment, Fieldprint Oregon will send your prints to the ODE for your background check. Once this is complete, you are clear to attend new hire orientation. 
3. Bring the Payment Options for Fingerprint Processing document with you to new hire orientation. Details on this piece are in our new hire paperwork instructions linked at the top of the page.

Now that you have your fingerprints scheduled and your packet filled out and ready for orientation, you can start getting familiar with a few of our systems and softwares that will assist in the day-to-day of your new position.

• Frontline Absence Management
  • Frontline is a required application and is how you will find, be notified of, and accept jobs on a daily basis. Your substitute profile allows you to set your available work hours, school preferences, etc. You can also submit your own sick time requests through Frontline. Your paycheck is based entirely off of the jobs posted here, so you must have an active profile. 
    • You can find guides on how to get started here on our Frontline home page.
• Activating your 4J E-Mail Account
  • You will not be able to activate your 4J email until you have completed orientation and are entered into the HR/Payroll system by your representative. Once you receive your employee ID number then you will be able to activate your 4J email account.
• Vector Safe Schools
  • This is our annual safety training provider. You will need to complete a series of courses at the start of your employment. Your username will always be your employee ID. Please make a note of this for yourself if needed. While you have outstanding safety courses to complete, you will receive weekly reminder emails titled “Vector Training, K-12 Edition” from “Eugene School District 4J” with a “safeschools.com” domain which includes your username and a link to the login page. 
• Synergy (Student Information System)
  • If you will be working directly with our students, you will likely need an account with our Student Information System. Your supervisor will confirm for you during your first days on the job if you’ll need access. 

Substitutes and guest teachers do earn certain benefits, depending on hours worked and type of assignment. You can check out the Subs and Guest Teachers Benefits page for more details!
