A: Certified Employees: You must first change your name on your ADE certificate. Contact HR at CFSD for an ADE Name Change form. Complete it and mail it to Phoenix (it cannot be submitted on-line). Once you receive your certificate in the mail with your new name on it, interoffice the original document to HR. Please refer to “All Employees” note below for an additional step.

Q: Where do I find the Employee and Payroll calendars?
A: Visit the CFSD web site at www.cfsd16.org. Click on Human Resources>Helpful Links.
Q: I need to find some information about my benefits. Where should I look?
A: Visit the CFSD web site at www.cfsd16.org. Click on Human Resources>Employee Benefits. If you don’t see the information that you need, you can call us in HR. To speak with a CFSD benefits specialist at the District Office (MAC), please call (520) 209-7530.
Q: I need to take a short leave of absence to have surgery. How do I know if I qualify for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)? Would my friend qualify to take care of her sick spouse for a couple of weeks, under the FMLA?
A: To be eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave under the federal FMLA, an employee must have worked for CFSD for at least 12 months and have completed at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the leave. The reason for taking the leave must also be a qualifying reason under this federal law, specifically, birth/adoption of a child; to care for a spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition; or to take care of your own serious health condition. Please contact the CFSD HR Office at (520) 209-7530 to submit your confidential request for leave under the FMLA. A benefits specialist will let you know if you are eligible and what steps to take. If you are a new employee of CFSD and do not meet the eligibility requirements, you may qualify for a “district” leave of absence.
Q: I just got hurt at work. What should I do?
A: Whether you need to seek medical attention or not, you must first notify your direct supervisor or school principal of your injury. Call the Nurse Triage phone number at (888) 252-4689, before seeking treatment (unless the injury is life-threatening. Seek immediate medical attention, if that is the case). The on-call nurse will complete an injury report, when you call the number.

If a doctor gives you any paperwork concerning your injury or treatment plan, please forward it to CFSD HR at the District Office.

Background Checks / Fingerprinting
We keep our students safe by only hiring safe employees.
The district has a duty to conduct background checks of all employees. These investigations are important in determining an applicant's suitability for employment. In addition, Arizona Revised Statutes 15-512 requires districts to obtain a fingerprint check of all employees.
The Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S) require applicants for certified teaching positions to have an active fingerprint clearance card prior to or as a condition of licensure. Candidates may apply for a fingerprint clearance card electronically here.
Applicants are required to disclose and explain any criminal, employment or licensing difficulties on their application.
FIRST TIME APPLICANTS: Please go to Arizona Department of Public Safety website:
Apply online by submitting an application for an Level One IVP fingerprint clearance card. You will need to pay the associated fee by credit or debit card.
The preferred method of having your fingerprints rolled for CFSD is DIGITAL. This is the most efficient and fastest method of processing.
Once your application is submitted you will be provided a REFERENCE NUMBER to use when getting fingerprinted.
At this point you will need to check your DPS account ‘message center’ for additional instructions which include where to go to have your fingerprints physically rolled.
Digital Rolling of Fingerprints:
Fingerprints should be rolled digitally at one of the locations provided directly from
AZ DPS. This information can be found in your DPS account message center.
Digitally rolled fingerprints are transmitted directly to AZ DPS. Processing time is approximate 5-10 business days.
Check the status of your fingerprints here and type in your application number (IVP) in the bottom field.
Once your fingerprints have been processed and cleared by DPS you will be mailed a physical wallet sized clearance card which includes your Card Number & your IVPP Number which are valid for 6 years.
RENEWALS:
Please request to renew your IVP card at least 45 days prior to its expiration date. Renewals need to be requested directly through AZ DPS website.
Benefits are only the beginning
The Catalina Foothills School District offers a variety of insurance and benefit programs through a cafeteria plan, thus allowing employees to select a combination of benefits that best suit their individual and family needs.
The District's insurance program is set up as a Flexible Benefit Plan under Section 125 of Internal Revenue Code. This allows employees to use pre-tax dollars to pay federal, state and FICA taxes for their portion of District insurance premiums. Employee contributions are taken from gross wages before taxes, which reduces taxable income and gives the employee more take home pay.
We care about all our employees so we offer benefits to anyone working half-time or more. Each eligible employee receives sick leave, long-term disability, paid holidays, ASRS retirement contributions and $50,000 death and dismemberment coverage.
Our benefit options include supplemental term life insurance, medical, dental, vision, pet care and short-term disability.
NOTE: The IRS has issued an alternative furnishing method to provide 1095-C statements to employees. Catalina Foothills School District will no longer be mailing employees 1095-C statements. However, copies are available upon request. To obtain a copy of the document, please reach out to the CFSD Human Resources Department by sending an email to: eyoung@cfsd16.org or calling (520) 209-7599 or sending a request to the CFSD HR Department at: 2101 E. River Rd., Tucson, AZ 85718.

By law, anyone who is not a parent or guardian of children in our schools must complete a background check.

OPTION 1-have your fingerprints rolled at the CFSD district office. This service is free for volunteers but processing time can be at least 8 weeks so plan accordingly. Call 520-209-7531 to schedule an appointment.
When we verify that your background check has been completed your name will be placed on the next scheduled Governing Board agenda for approval, and you will receive further instructions to finish your processing.
Depending upon the which option you choose for your background check, the processing time can be up to 10 weeks from application to the time you can start volunteering, so please plan accordingly.
NOTE: A school principal has the right to limit the number of volunteers or visitors on school campus at any time.
We appreciate your time and understanding as we take measures to ensure the safety of our students!
