June 2021 Dallas ISD Substitute Employee Newsletter
ACTION REQUIRED | 2021-2022 SUBSTITUTE REASONABLE ASSURANCE FORM, DEADLINE JUNE 16, 2021
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the substitute re-enrollment forms for the 2021-2022 school year were sent to your district email on April 30th through the DocuSign system. All substitutes are required to review & electronically sign the document by June 16, 2021 if planning to return in the fall as a substitute in Dallas ISD.
Substitutes will continue to receive an email notification from DocuSign if the form has not been completed. The Substitute Office does not have access to your personal email - you must check your district email in order to complete the form.
In the event, you are unable to submit your re-enrollment form via DocuSign, individuals may download the re-enrollment form and email it to substitute@dallasisd.org.
If you need further assistance or have forgotten your email address, please contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) at 972-925-5630.

ACTION REQUIRED | MANDATORY CYBERSECURITY TRAINING, EXTENDED DEADLINE JUNE 10, 2021
The State of Texas enacted regulations that require Dallas ISD trustees, school and central staff to complete an approved cybersecurity training by the extended deadline June 10, 2021. The deadline has been extended to substitutes due to low completion rates.
Under House Bill 3834, employees and board members who have access to a local government computer are required to take the cybersecurity awareness training.
You will receive an e-mail from Infosec IQ Notifications indicating the mandatory training has been assigned. The e-mail will contain a link that will take you to the 40-minute training, which is self-paced and can be taken in separate sessions. The training is designed to help develop habits that keep information secure and teach users the best practices for identifying and addressing security threats.
Please follow the attached instructions to access the training once you have received the e-mail notification from Infosec IQ Notifications.
For technology related issues, please contact the IT Service Desk at 972-925-5630.

A perfect place to literally cool off this summer is to take some classes or even just to have some fun ice skating at Galleria.

If you’re ready to hone your skills, start with their private lessons or get right to it during public hours on the rink.
Dr Pepper StarCenter is the official home of the Dallas Stars, and as such has two NHL-sized sheets of ice, which can definitely help you cool off this summer. It offers five different locations for public ice skating, figure skating lessons, ice hockey, broomball curling, and more. All locations have a Learn To Skate skating academy that can start kids off at three years old.
