Lesson rosters and other materials necessary for efficient class operation must be available for a substitute teacher. Substitute information must be placed in a substitute folder. This folder must be clearly labeled and kept in a conspicuous location known to your grade chair. A sign-in book for substitutes is kept in the front office and is to be used by all substitute teachers. Be sure to return your signed Certificate of Absence to the Office Manager. NON-INSTRUCTIONAL PERSONNEL Report your absence via E-Solutions (Sub Search) via the telephone or via the computer web site. (Directions are included in the appendix of this handbook.) Affected teachers will be notified. PATTERN OF NON-ATTENDANCE It is not acceptable to take sick days when you are not sick or to use all your days. Administrators will have discussions with staff members when a pattern of non-attendance is recognized. Such patterns may be before or after a weekend or a holiday, or absence on several planning days. TARDINESS On any day you will be tardy, call the Office Manager at least thirty (30) minutes prior to your reporting time.

DO NOT MOVE THE CHILD. When a child is involved in an accident, the teacher must complete a Student Accident Report Form. This form is completed to protect you in any future legal action. The staff member on duty at the time and location of the accident will sign the report as witness. Any hazardous condition should be reported to the office. All school related accidents/injuries to staff members must be reported to the office immediately. Failure to do so may result in the inability to acquire Workman’s Compensation, insurance, etc.
