Required Onboarding Paperwork [ADMIN & PROFESSIONAL]
-
For ADMINISTRATORS & PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES, there is a total of 28 forms that new employees will need to complete and submit before they begin service with the Southern Lehigh SD. Each form (except for signature/ consent forms) is a fillable Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf) file. Thus, you are strongly encouraged to complete each form on your home desktop or laptop, which can be either a Windows or Mac computer. Please read each form carefully; while the majority of forms apply to both full-time and part-time employees, certain payroll and benefits related forms apply only to one employee type or the other.
Once you have completed ALL forms, you can either email them to or make an appointment with the Office's HR Generalist, Debra Miceli (micelid@slsd.org). Prior to your appointment, please print ALL forms including those for which you might need clarification and/or assistance. Our office location is 5775 MAIN STREET | CENTER VALLEY, PA 18034.
Please do not mail us your completed forms; there is a risk that the form will either be lost in the mail or not arrive in time for the start of your service. Lastly, if you have any questions about one or more forms, technical or substantive, please contact our office at hr@slsd.org.

Additional Documents: MISCELLANEOUS (New Hire Must Obtain)
[1] OFFICIAL COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY TRANSCRIPT (REQUIRED)
You must provide an official college or university transcript to begin employment with the Southern Lehigh SD. An official transcript is one that is provided by the institution's Office of the Registrar and must be ordered directly through the institution's website. These documents are provided either electronically (via email) or hardcopy (via postal mail). Electronic official transcripts are offered as secure Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf) files whereas hardcopy official transcripts are issued on institutional letterhead such as blue tamper-proof security paper with a raised seal of the institution and the signature of an institution's administrator.
Please do not provide us with an unofficial transcript. These are generally accessible via your institution's online student portal and are designed for you (and not a prospective employer) to review your academic record. They will not have the security features associated with an official transcript.
[2] PENNSYLVANIA K-12 TENURE LETTER (OPTIONAL)
If you have obtained tenure as a K-12 professional educator in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, your tenure status is transferable between public school districts within the state per Article Section of the PA Public School Code. (Note that this does not apply to individuals who have obtained tenure outside the Commonwealth; tenure does not transfer between state lines.) However, to receive credit for your tenure, you will need to obtain a tenure certification letter from the tenure granting K-12 institution. This letter should be issued on institutional letterhead with the signature of the institution's administrator.
[3] PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION CERTIFICATION (OPTIONAL)
Many professional associations offer their members industry-wide recognized credentials that certify their skillsets in one or more areas of expertise. Some examples include the (a) North Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), which offers the National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) credential or (b) the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), which offers certifications for new and experienced human resource professionals.
[4] PROFESSIONAL RN LICENSURE (REQUIRED FOR CERTIFIED SCHOOL NURSE ONLY)
If you are hired as a Certified School Nurse (CSN), you will need to provide your official Registered Nurse (RN) license as part of your onboarding paperwork. You can obtain a copy of your license via the State Board of Nursing by clicking HERE.
[5] CPR & FIRST AID LICENSURE (REQUIRED FOR CERTIFIED SCHOOL NURSE ONLY)
If you are hired as a Certified School Nurse (CSN), you will need to provide your official Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid licenses as part of your onboarding paperwork. You can obtain a copy of your license(s) from the granting agency such as American Red Cross (ARC) or the American Heart Association (AHA).
If you need to obtain (or renew) your CPR licensure, you can do so with one of our two AHA-certified CSNs (E. Harwick and N. Castetter). Candidates will need to successfully pass a hybrid course in which they must first complete an online portion and then schedule the hands-on testing portion with either AHA-certified CSN. Please note that completion of the online portion is a prerequisite for testing. Interested applicants can register for the course by clicking HERE; once on the AHA page, please read the overview of the HeartCode BLS course and pay the fee of $36.00.
