How to prepare for a day off

It is the responsibility of every staff member to assist with completing the responsibilities of his/her job for the day to ensure the day is utilized for student learning.  A substitute folder should be prepared at all times in case of an unexpected absence. Please include the following in your substitute folder.

• Storm and fire routes and other emergency procedures

• Class List

• Rest time chart for cot placement

• Special health considerations

• Special custody considerations

• Daily schedule

• Lesson plans

• Classroom management techniques

• Individual care plans for infants/toddlers

• Instructions on location of student files to find pick up lists

• Medication Forms

• Accident Report Forms

Karen Murray must be notified by 6:00 a.m. if an employee is to be absent from work.  Please text (preferred) or call 417-598-2428 (Karen). I will contact Tara Dalton, who will book a sub to replace you. The more notice we have the better!

In order to receive pay for personal days, they must be scheduled with Karen and Tara one week in advance.  Sick and Personal days will be paid according to RSSD policy. All personal and sick days must be entered into SISFIN within 5 days of being absent from work. ALL absences must be entered in SISFIN, even if you are over the number of paid days, within five days of being absent from work. This counts for any day that was a scheduled day to work. 

Here is the link to SISFIN or better known as the HR Portal

Lesson plans for the classroom are to be written and posted on Friday before leaving. Please make sure a copy is on your desk for your sub. Teachers will develop lessons that reflect the individual child’s level of development using target goals and are based on the ELLC curriculum. Resources are available in each classroom to aid in the development of such lesson plans. Resources are also available in the Library and the resource room.
