Sub of the Month!
How do I get Frontline not to call mulitple times?
How do I get the substitute system (Frontline) to not call multiple times?
1) Put in a Non-Work Day and the system will not call you at all for that day.
2) If the system calls you and you do not answer, the system will continue to call.
3) If you answer the call and want to reject just the job the system is calling you at the time, the system will just reject you for that job only but will call you for other unfilled jobs.
4) If you answer the call and want to reject all jobs, then the system will reject you from all jobs for that day.
5) When Mrs. Wolf sees openings, she may see if there is any way that someone is willing to cover and she may reach out to you. If you do not want her to reach out to you, please email her to let her know you only want to accept through the system.
6) Campuses receive a list of all substitutes who are willing to sub on their campus so a secretary may also reach out to you if she knows you. Secretaries do not have access to the system that shows whether you are available or not.

Safety is a top priority in Red Oak ISD
I have attached the video provided in the substitute orientation presentation for you to review again.
In addition, each phone located in each classroom has the ability to place the building in Lockdown shall an emergency that warrants it arise. A video to learn how to activate the Lockdown System can be viewed below:

In addition, last year we started utilizing substitute badges. We will continue that practice this year so that Substitute Teachers will have a visible identifier while they are on campus. Please remember to return these to the office at the end of the day.
Doors should remained locked during the day
Jean Days
The first Wednesday of every month is Colors For Caring Day! All staff may wear jeans with a shirt in the color of their choice that supports a specific cause. (See chart below)
Every Wednesday is now also a jean day for Substitutes!
