The New Hire Orientation is the first step in processing your new hire paperwork and setting up your benefits. During the orientation, you will become familiar with the city of Waxahachie, school district processes, procedures, mission, vision, values, goals, and regulations. Additionally, you will learn about the support available to you throughout your first year with Waxahachie ISD.

The Pre-Service Training is three days before teachers return to work. During this training, you can access the district curriculum, technology, and your campus’ processes and procedures.

You must sign up for each of these dates online in Eduphoria.

This section will include most of the calendars you need during the school year. These are district calendars, not campus-based calendars, so if there is something campus-specific you are looking for, check with the administration or front office. This section also includes the guidelines and policies on all types of leave and how to input all types of absences.
