The Subway

August 27, 2021

Welcome Back!

We are excited to kick off the 2021 - 2022 school year! Substitutes are critical for our success, providing education each and every school year. You are a significant contributor to the growth and development of our students, and we truly appreciate you! To get back in the swing of things, we have a few updates we would like to share.

Subs Can Work District-Wide

We will start the school year by allowing subs to work at any location in the district. This is subject to change if the District moves from a low-risk status to a medium or high-risk status due to COVID-19. To view the risk level and check mask requirements for individual schools please visit the MSBSD COVID-19 page at https://www.matsuk12.us/coronavirus.


If you would like to update your preferred school locations in Absence Management, you can do so by selecting Preferences, then Schools. You can choose the sites where you want to work or exclude certain locations. Be sure to select the appropriate choice at the top of the school list or you may end up missing jobs.

Big picture
Given the ever-changing nature of our world due to COVID, it is important to stay up to date on crucial information from HR and the District. To make sure you don't miss any updates, please check your district email address regularly. Instructions to access your District email on your mobile device can be found on Knowledge Base.
