October marks a shift for many of our clients. The back-to-school and early fall chaos has settled, but before we know it, the holidays will be here—bringing program breaks, staff vacations, and year-end demands. While others wait until December, our most prepared clients are already planning their coverage and staffing needs for the coming weeks.

At Staffing Boutique, we make sure our nonprofit partners and school communities never miss a beat — even when the calendar gets busy.

For Schools: Keep Classrooms and Programs Covered

Between Thanksgiving, winter concerts, and staff PTO, classroom coverage can get tricky. Principals and HR leaders often wait until mid-November to find substitutes or interim teachers and as the semester winds down, teachers, aides, and administrators start taking well-deserved breaks — but your classrooms, afterschool programs, and student services still need to run smoothly.

Now’s the time to secure:

• Substitute teachers and classroom aides for staff vacations

• Office and admin temps to support parent communication or end-of-term reporting

• Program staff for winter enrichment or tutoring sessions

We know coverage gaps can throw off a whole school day — that’s why our education staffing team works ahead to make sure your students stay supported and your staff stays stress-free.

For Nonprofits: Year-End Fundraising & Program Support

The final quarter of the year is mission-critical. Between fundraising campaigns, galas, holiday events, and year-end reports, many nonprofits need extra hands on deck to keep operations running smoothly.

Our nonprofit clients have found that planning now ensures a seamless finish to the year—without the last-minute scramble.

Here’s how we can help you wrap up the year strong:

• Development and fundraising support to meet fundraising campaign goals before December 31

• Finance and admin temps for year-end closeouts

• Event and program staff for holiday outreach or seasonal initiatives

If you’re facing tight budgets, we’ll help you stay flexible — temporary or project-based staff can stretch your resources while keeping your programs running without interruption.

We are here to support you!

Whether you’re a school or nonprofit, we’ll help you:

• Build a flexible, ready-to-go staffing plan from now to December

• Access pre-screened, mission-aligned talent who can start quickly

• Maintain stability during your busiest season

Don’t wait until the rush hits. Whether you need short-term coverage, additional staff or last-minute replacements, we’re here to make hiring easy through the holidays and beyond.
