Sub Coverage
For the remainder of the school year, Karen will be your administrator on call for subs.
Please NOTE:

- If you know you will not be coming in the day of an absence, prior to 5:30 AM you should go ahead and enter the absence in AESOP yourself. If you have confirmed a sub on your own, make sure to “assign” that sub in AESOP. If you have not confirmed a sub yourself, AESOP will find one for you.
- If it is after 5:30 AM on the morning of the absence, you should contact Karen so she can enter it into AESOP.
- If you arrive at school and need to leave early the day of, contact Karen or Sharon to have them enter your absence into AESOP (whether you need a sub or not).
- Please submit a Leave Request form (paper version) to Karen at least 5 days before the leave date requested. Feel free to contact your preferred sub. Karen will enter in AESOP when approved. If you have a preferred sub and have contacted that sub, please write that sub at the top of your leave request form. If there is no sub requested, Aesop will find sub for you.
- If you have any issues, please contact any member of the Admin Team.
