When a teacher is absent, their periods need cover. Academics > Substitutions shows the absent teacher's periods for the day and which teachers are free, so the principal or coordinator can arrange cover in a minute.

Steps

  1. Open Academics > Substitutions. Choose the Date (today by default).
  2. Mark the teacher absent. Pick the Absent teacher and click Mark absent. Their periods for that day are listed from the routine.
  3. Choose cover for each period. In Covered by pick a free teacher. Until then the period shows Nobody yet, and the page tells you how many periods still need a substitute.
  4. Print the slip. Click Print slip for the staff room or the substitute.

Good to know

  • Teachers covering a period see it on their My day panel marked "Covering for a colleague".
  • If the teacher comes in after all, click Mark present.
  • The dashboard shows "Substitutions needed today" so nobody forgets an uncovered period.
