SUBSTITUTE PACKETS

In order to carry out an effective instructional program, lesson plans must always be available.    Please prepare and submit to the office a substitute packet that will be available should you be unable to plan for a substitute due to an emergency.  These  generic lesson plans will be given out when regular plans are not available.  These are due to the Principal by September 1, 2001.

Substitute packets in the office and classroom need to include

*Class Seating Chart with names of students
*Important people at school list
*Students with special needs (Illness, Meds, Physical)
*Names of classroom helpers
*Classroom procedures and rules
*Pullout students and times
*Daily class schedule
*School Map
*Location of equipment in room
*Information on use of art supplies or not
*Location of teacher texts
*Sponge activities
*Free time or Open time activities
*Misc information that will help the substitute have a good productive day with your class

If you need help preparing a good substitute packet please talk to your grade level chair.

If you are planning to have your class go to the Media Center computer lab please reevaluate.  There is not teacher in the Media Center lab unless previously scheduled.  Most substitutes are not capable of handling students in the lab.  Many problems have occurred with equipment and software do to substitutes.  If you really want the sub to take the students, please leave explicit instructions on lesson plans, clean up and operation of the lab.
