Substitute Procedure

When you need a sub: Please begin coordinating a substitute as soon as you know you won’t be in attendance.

1. Contact your co-teacher to let them know you’ll be absent as soon as you know.
2. Arrange any transfer of supplies/lesson plans.
3. Post on Whatsapp each period and family job you'll need a sub. Also let your children's teachers know they will be absent.
   
4. Post in the Sub forum for each period you’ll need a sub on the website.
   • Please do not create a brand-new thread; this causes confusion and missed sub requests.
   • Leave a specific class name and family job. We have several classes that are similar in name or subject, so simply saying “second period art” may not be enough.
   • Devotions: If you were responsible for devotion or other responsibility, please find someone to switch or cover it for you.

Last minute sub needs:

• If you need a sub on Thursday morning, please text the whatsapp group right away. Everyone will work together to ensure the class is covered.
• If your family needs to leave co-op early for any reason please let your co-teacher know and pass all leasson materials to them and let the Hall Monitor know. They will find someone to co-teach any classes you have left to teach.

What's expected of you as a sub?

• Help the remaining co-teacher run the class.
• When both class teachers are out the substitute coordinator will send both subs a sub lesson plan that was provided by the regular teachers.
• Board games and organized free play are also acceptable as appropriate for the ages and interests of the class so feel free to bring a game or two if you know you are in a class with another sub.
• Combining with another class be also be an option.
