Student Teacher, Observer, and Intern Requests

**WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING REQUESTS FOR Fall 2025**

Thank you for your interest in Sachem! We look forward to assisting you in your
pathway to becoming a future educator. All placements must be vetted through
the personnel office. The process for requesting student teacher, observer and/or
internship requests is below:

  • Please complete the required online District application and upload the
    required documentation (college placement request letter and resume-please
    create one file to upload) via the link below:

  • Please verify that your name and related contact information is on the list
    provided to the district from your college placement office indicating that you
    are requesting a placement for student teaching/observation/intern hours.

Student teachers, observers and interns will be contacted by the personnel office if
we have a potential placement. Provided the district can secure a placement, the student will be required to complete paperwork through the personnel office, attend a mandatory zoom orientation and be fingerprint cleared prior to the start of the placement. Note - the district requires an affiliation agreement to be in place with colleges/universities in which the requests are generated from prior to coordinating placements. 

The deadline to submit requests for placements is as follows:

The deadline for accepting student teacher applications: June 13, 2025

The deadline for accepting student observation requests: September 19, 2025
