Welcome to Human Resources

We are so glad you have chosen to be a part of the Stafford Municipal School District community.  Part of the onboarding process includes completing the necessary paperwork as well as attending New Employee Orientation.

You will be notified by a Talent Acquisition/Human Resources staff member to schedule your New Employee Orientation. If your position requires you to get fingerprinted, you must have that done before attending New Employee Orientation. Please note: a member of the Talent Acquisition/Human Resources Department will contact you to provide you with the steps required to obtain your fingerprints. Each individual is responsible for the cost of fingerprinting. Additionally, SMSD will not reimburse individuals for the fingerprinting process. 

It is required that you complete the New Employee Packet before attending New Employee Orientation.

Your direct supervisor will provide you details regarding the Mandatory Training after you have completed the New Employee Orientation.

Here at Stafford MSD we value you as an employee and as a person. Our goal is to ensure that your needs are met in every aspect of your employment with us.

At our schools, substitute employees are considered an important part of the educational process, and we thank you for being here. The standards are high for employees in this district, and in their absence our substitute employees are expected to adhere to these same standards of excellence. We ask that while you are with us, you assume the same responsibilities and privileges as the regular members of the faculty. The role of a substitute employee is a great challenge - we appreciate your willingness to be a part of the team!

Please direct questions or inquiries regarding service records from Stafford MSD to Talent Acquisition/Human Resources at humanresources@staffordmsd.org or 281-261-9250.  Service record requests are processed in the order they are received and sent to you no more than 30 days from the initial request. 

New Employees

An original, official service record is required if an individual has previous experience in an accredited public or private school.  Salary credit for experience earned in out-of-state institutions will not be granted until the original service records are received and verified.  You will need to contact your previous district to obtain an official service record.  Click on the following to download the appropriate request form:

Out of Country Service
Private School Service
Texas School Service

We aren’t responsible for any discrepancy from a previous district.  If you have worked at more than one school, please submit all service records at one time.

The amount of time it will take to obtain your service records is unpredictable, and often there is a delay.  If service records are not received before the first pay date in September, your salary will be calculated based on zero years of experience. It will be updated (retroactively) once all service records are received.

Once you have received your service records and verified the information is accurate, please forward your records to:
