Substitute Calling Procedures

1. In the event of an absence, teachers and staff members are responsible for calling the principal or a designated assistant principal. Faculty members will be provided phone numbers at the start of the school year.
2. Requests for substitutes should be made the night before, until, but not after 9:30 p.m. or on the morning of the absence between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m.
3. Faculty members who have not made a contact by 6:30 a.m. should report to school until a substitute can be secured.
4. It is unacceptable for a faculty member to call and leave a message on voice mail requesting a substitute teacher. Many times voice mail is not checked until after school starts.
5. Persons who encounter problems in route to school should contact the school as soon as possible so that classes can be covered until their arrival.
6. Remember, if you sick stay at home. If you think you are sick, come to work.
