Substitutes are great, and are available for assignments on short-notice. To help us better serve you, please ensure we have your current telephone number, email, and adequate transportation to/from sites.

The substitute notification system is computerized and assignments are placed/accepted via text, app, or computer contact with the absence system. We highly recommend using the free mobile app which can be found on the Apple or Google app stores.

You may access the computerized absence system 24 hours a day to accept/manage your assignments. Generally speaking, text notifications will be sent from 5:00a - 10:00a for assignments on the current day. It will attempt again at 4:00p - 10:00p for assignments within the next two days.

For full details on how Red Rover can send notifications to you, view their guide here.

A few helpful hints:

• Keep paper and pen near your phone to record the name of the absent employee, name of the school, area you'll be substituting in, report time, and confirmation number. You must have the confirmation number when reporting for your assignment.
• Keep a calendar with the date(s) you substitute, the confirmation number(s), and name of the school(s) for your personal records.
• Change your availability in the absence system if you plan to be out of town or unavailable.
