INTRODUCTION

WELCOME

The Clear Creek Independent School District has made every effort to staff our classrooms with professionals and paraprofessionals of outstanding ability and dedication. It is reassuring to know that when a classroom teacher or staff member must be absent, there is an equally dedicated substitute implementing the instructional program. Professional and Paraprofessional Substitutes need to possess many talents. Versatility and flexibility are two of the most important characteristics that enable substitutes to adapt to different grade levels and different student needs.

With the support of the district staff, building principals, and classroom teachers, this handbook will help you meet any assignment with confidence. Please call on these people to assist you if questions arise.

We trust that you will feel a real sense of satisfaction as you view the contributions you make to the Students and programs of the Clear Creek Independent School District. Please read this handbook before taking an assignment.

I Came

When your kid had a temp of 103,

When you worked in the yard and fell out of a tree,

When your folks came to town and you couldn't break free,

When you were scheduled for surgery, remember.....

I came.

When you had jury duty, and you had to go,

When you had a traffic ticket and you had to show.

When you that knee pain that was starting to grow

When you had a meeting `cause test scores were low, remember....

I came.

When you were in need of a mental health day

When you were on your last nerve with the kids that day

When you had to go, you simply couldn't stay...

I had other plans, but you called anyway....so

I came.

I'm often forgotten, I'm an unknown name.

My work and my style may not be the same

Some glorious title I might never claim...

But I want you to remember, when called...........

I came.

I am your substitute teacher.

Linda Helbach
