Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss - Celebrate with Read Across America!
The Substitute Office suggests two other resource websites that can positively impact student learning. With the busy RTI (Response to Intervention) and testing prep season (STAAR, EOC, ITBS, TELPAS, etc.) take a minute to check out the following resources.
ReadWorks - Offers paired text, which refers to reading two texts with a similar theme, topic, or other element. Also paired text is how our students are assessed for STAAR, EOC, and ACPs. Presenting students with every opportunity to experience paired text can help move our students towards success.
TeacherSherpa - This website makes it simple for teachers to create classroom materials. This site is filled with thousands of teacher created materials that are both eye-catching and able to reinforce instruction. This is a teacher share site that is inspirational and easy to use. It provides unlimited downloads for all grade levels in all curriculum areas.
Remember,
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

By submitting this form, I am hereby requesting re-enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year as an instructional Substitute employee in the Dallas Independent School District. I understand that continued enrollment, as a substitute employee requires that I comply with the rules, regulations and policies of the Dallas ISD. I am aware that this enrollment procedure does not represent application for full-time permanent employment.
I understand that continued enrollment, as a substitute requires a yearly criminal record check. I do hereby agree, consent and direct a person or entity maintaining information in any form relating to my criminal history to release all such information in any form relating to my criminal history to release all such information upon the request of the Dallas Independent School District.
I do further agree and permit the Dallas Independent School District to obtain any law enforcement source or entity information relating to my personal background, my moral character and my fitness to instruct students or work in an environment with students of the Dallas ISD and do hereby expressly direct that any such person or entity release such information upon the request of the Dallas ISD.
I do hereby release, discharge and exonerate the Dallas ISD, its agents or representatives and any person or entity furnishing information from any and all liability of every kind arising therefrom. Information will be kept in a separate file.
I accept this document as the Dallas Independent School District's means of informing me of reasonable assurance of substitute in Dallas ISD for the 2016-2017 school year. I furthermore understand that substitute employees are "at will" employees and as such, have no property rights in employment.
This serves as notice of reasonable assurance of continued employment in the 2016-2017 school year on the same substitute basis that existed during the past school year. By virtue of this notice, please understand that you may not be eligible for unemployment compensation benefits drawn on school district wages during any scheduled school breaks including, but not limited to, the summer, fall, winter, and spring breaks. This assurance is contingent upon continued school operations and will not apply in the event of any disruption that is beyond the control of the District (i.e., lack of school funding, natural disasters, court orders, public insurrections, war, etc.).
This is not an employment contract. Your continued employment is on an at-will basis. The District may terminate at-will employees at any time for no reason or for any reason not prohibited by law.
