• Classroom teachers and Specialist teachers it is extremely important to include any student in your classroom's safety plan, behavior plan or specfic student information with your sub plans

• Have a plan in advance.  Have all documents (student saftey plan, behavior plans...) in a folder.  Then on a day when you call out sick, have that folder with your sub plans

• We have had several behavior incidents the last few weeks which could have been avoided if these documents were provided for the sub./coverage
