New Employee Onboarding
Welcome to Morgan County School District!
We are excited to have you join our team. To help make your onboarding appointment faster and easier, please review the information below and complete the applicable forms before coming to the District Office.
Please print completed forms and bring them with you to your appointment.
For your privacy and security, do not email completed forms containing Social Security numbers, banking information, copies of identification documents, or other sensitive information.
Forms for All New Employees
Form I-9 – Employment Eligibility Verification
Please complete Section 1 of Form I-9 before your onboarding appointment.
At your appointment, you will present original acceptable documentation of your choice. You may present either one acceptable List A document OR one List B document together with one List C document. Employment Services will complete the employer portion of the I-9 with you.
Form W-4 – Employee's Withholding Certificate
Please complete the W-4 and bring it with you to your onboarding appointment.
MCSD Direct Deposit Authorization
Morgan County School District requires employee payroll to be paid by direct deposit. Please complete the form and bring it with you, along with either a voided check or official bank documentation verifying the routing and account information.
Do not email the completed Direct Deposit Authorization because it contains confidential banking information.
Additional Information for Licensed/Certified Employees
Official Transcripts
Please arrange for your college or university to send official transcripts to:
Jana Brown, District Secretary
jbrown@morgansd.org
Verification of Prior Licensed Professional Service
If you have previous licensed educational experience that may qualify for salary-placement credit, download the Verification of Prior Licensed Professional Service form.
Send the blank form to each applicable previous school district or employer. Each former employer should complete the form and return it directly to Morgan County School District, preferably by email to jbrown@morgansd.org.
Utah Educator License and Background Clearance
Morgan County School District will verify required Utah educator licensure and background clearance for licensed/certified employees.
Employees who already hold a current Utah educator license generally do not complete the District's ESP/Classified fingerprint process.
If you are obtaining a Utah educator license, updating a required background check, or completing another licensure pathway, Employment Services will provide instructions regarding any required USBE/USIMS background-check and fingerprinting steps.
New Teacher Orientation and Reporting Information
Reporting dates and New Teacher Orientation information can change from year to year. Licensed employees who are new to the District will receive current-year reporting and orientation information separately from Employment Services and/or their school administrator.
Additional Information for ESP/Classified Employees
Background Check and Fingerprinting
New ESP/Classified employees must complete the District's fingerprint-based background-check process as part of onboarding.
When Employment Services contacts you to schedule your onboarding appointment, you will also be connected with the District's background-check specialist to arrange your fingerprinting appointment at the District Office.
Whenever possible, the fingerprinting/background-check appointment and your meeting with Employment Services and Payroll will be coordinated for the same visit.
You will receive instructions about any background-check forms or identification you need to bring when your appointment is scheduled.
Please do not email completed background-check forms containing Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or other sensitive identifying information.
Benefits and Retirement
Payroll will determine benefits and Utah Retirement Systems eligibility based on the employee's position and employment information.
Eligible employees will receive benefits enrollment information and instructions separately.
Employees do not need to complete URS eligibility or ineligibility certification forms before the onboarding appointment. Those determinations and certifications are handled internally by the District.
School Employee Immunization Records
Morgan County School District requests a copy of your immunization record as part of the onboarding process.
If you have a current immunization record readily available, please provide a copy to Jana Brown, District Secretary, at jbrown@morgansd.org before your onboarding appointment.
If you do not have a copy readily available, you may still proceed with your onboarding appointment. Please let us know, and we can discuss any remaining documentation needs with you.
If you prefer not to email medical information, you may bring a copy with you to your onboarding appointment.
