There are several tasks for new hires to complete.  Some of these will be completed online while others will need to be completed in person (I-9 form, CORI, fingerprinting and benefits enrollment).  New hires will receive an email with a link to complete required forms through our online onboarding system (PowerSchool).

If you are a new hire and have not received an email or are experiencing difficulties, please email hr@walthampublicschools.org.

CORI and Fingerprinting
In addition to the forms in the onboarding checklist, all new hires must complete a CORI (criminal record check) and be fingerprinted. CORI forms may completed at the Superintendent's Office (617 Lexington Street) or in the main office at any Waltham Public School. For information on fingerprinting, see the links below.
