We update these regularly with actual, frequently asked questions, so if you don't see your question here, please email us!

can I add More than one Day's Plans At a Time?

The "Daily Plan" page in the sub folder utilizes Google Sheets to track your daily absence plan and share it with the substitute teacher. If your absence includes more than one day, you can duplicate your plan template as many times as you need, for the number of days you'll be absent -- so that your Daily Plan spreadsheet has a tab for each day of your absence.

Make sure to rename each tab as you duplicate them, so that each has the correct date for when it will be used. You can rename a tab by double clicking on it (the text will highlight when you can edit).

What if I have Last Minute Materials I need Printed?

A major benefit of a digital sub folder is not having to come to school if you have an unexpected absence. In the case this happens and you have a worksheet or materials you need printed for the sub or students, email a colleague and ask them to print for you. At present, subs do not have access to print materials.

How will I get feedback from My Sub?

Substantial will email you a PDF of the sub's responses as soon as possible following the absence. Principals and school administrators will also have access to all responses via Google Drive and can access feedback for you, should you need it faster than we can get it to you.
