Q : What is considered a half day assignment?
A : A half-day assignment for a substitute teacher is a job that is four (4) hours or less.
Example: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM or 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Q : What is the difference between prearranged and requested?
A : A prearranged substitute knows about the job before it is put into the SubFinder system. A requested substitute is put into a job and the SubFinder calls the substitute to notify them that they are being requested for the job.
Q : Can I leave the school if there are no students in my classroom before the end time of my job?
A : You may not leave the school unless you are released by the Principal or Administrative Assistant. If you are released, you must sign out with the school before you leave.
Q : If I am asked to fill in another classroom during my conference period do I need to go? Do I get paid more?
A : You are required to fill in another classroom during your conference period if asked to. You will only be asked to do this if there is an emergency and there is a need. You will not get paid more when you fill in another classroom during your conference period.
Q : What should I do if I’m going to be late?
A : If you are going to be late to your job, you must call the school the job is at so that they do not think that you are a “No Show” and give your job to someone else. You may also leave a message with Sub Dispatch.
Q : What’s the difference between my PIN number and my ID number?
A : Your PIN Number is your Personal Identification Number. Your ID Number is the five (5) digit number that Sub Dispatch assigned to you.
Your ID number will be assigned to you by Sub Dispatch.
Q : Should I leave a note for the teacher I substituted for?
A : As the substitute teacher, you should always leave a note for the teacher you substituted for. If you leave a note, the teacher will most likely call you back to substitute for them in the future.
Q : Do I get paid if school is cancelled?
A : No, information about school cancellations or a late schedule will be posted on the Anchorage School District Website, by 5 a.m. the day of the cancellation.
Q : How do I stay on as a sub for the upcoming year?
A : All substitutes must work at least five days a year to automatically remain on the SubFinder System for the following year. |
