Substitute Teachers

Staff Absences

Absence request forms must be completed for all absences other than personal illness. Please give the forms to Charlotte who will in turn give them to an administrator for approval.

Substitute (Guest) Teachers

Make all substitute requests through the Subfinder system (instructional folders are located in the staff room).

If you see a substitute do something nice, or see one who impresses you, put it in writing and send Human Resources a copy. If you have a concern about a substitute, talk to the building administrator.

Each teacher is expected to provide substitutes with adequate plans and materials:
1. Lesson plans (not a significant digression from previous activities)
2. Seating charts.
3. Roll sheets and procedures for attendance.
4. Procedures for handling fire and earthquake drills.
5. Procedures for handling discipline problems.
6. Names of dependable students in each class.
7. Names of students with special needs.
8. Location of a “teacher buddy” to answer questions and assist in emergencies.
9. In-house phone numbers close to phone
10. Access code for copier.
