Substitutes

Substitute teachers and assistants are essential when staff need to take time off. Time is of the essence when securing a substitute when staff need to be gone from the classroom as many districts are competing for the same subs so do not delay in requesting a sub. All leave requests should be completed in AERO and AERO shuts off at 3:30 PM each day. After such time, the leave request should be made to Elaine directly via phone.

Each Project HELP classroom should have a sub folder that contains everything a substitute would need to effectively run through the schedules and routines with an absence.

This folder should include the following:

• A class list

• Lesson plans

• Schedule

• Names of helpful staff - secretary, custodian, SLP, etc

• Medical alerts/Allergies

• Attendance procedures

• Directions for computer log-in

• Emergency procedures (fire drill, tornado, etc.)

• Drop off and dismissal procedures

• Notes page

EIASE substitute staff need to complete a time sheet for the period in which they work. Time sheets must be submitted to the Early Childhood Office to be processed.
