INTRODUCTION

Substitute teachers fulfill a very important function in our school district. They are called upon with little or no notice to fill a vacancy by the absence of a professional staff member. Substitute teachers are thus given great responsibility and a degree of trust that is unique in the field of education.

Wylie Independent School District is dedicated to maintaining a positive educational climate. To accomplish this requires that our substitute teachers maintain a degree of professionalism and decorum.

While this handbook cannot cover every situation and circumstance that will confront the substitute, it is intended to provide some general guidelines that may contribute to success in the classroom.

Remember that the welfare of the students is the prime consideration. When in doubt, consult with a teacher, administrator, or one of the office staff.

Please also remember that school exists for the students. The first obligation, therefore, is toward the student.

FINDING AND ACCEPTING SUBSTITUTE ASSIGNMENTS

We have the pleasure of notifying you that Wylie Independent School District of Abilene is using an automated service that greatly simplifies and streamlines the process of finding and managing substitute jobs in this district. This service from Frontline Education utilizes both the telephone and the Internet to assist you in locating jobs in this school district. The Frontline Absence & Time solution is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Frontline uses four methods to make jobs available to substitutes: 1. You can search for and accept available jobs, change personal settings, update your calendar, and personalize your available call times by visiting Frontline on the internet at . If the employee has uploaded lesson plans on the Internet, you will be able to view them online once you take the job! 2. You may interact with the Frontline system by way of a toll-free, automated voice instruction menu at 1-800- 942-3767. Here, you can proactively search for jobs and manage existing jobs. We recommend calling in to check the computer recording of your name by pressing Option 4. 3. The system will also make phone calls to substitutes to offer jobs. The administrative office has selected the following hours as standard call times when the Aesop service may call for substitutes: 6:00:00 AM - 11:59:00 AM in the morning and 5:50:00 PM - 9:30:00 PM in the evening. This option can be removed from your account if you so desire. 4. Frontline now has an app called JOBULATOR that you can utilize for finding and accepting job assignments. * If you accept a job, you will be issued a confirmation number. Please remember that your transaction is not complete until Frontline supplies you with a confirmation number. We are confident that you will find the Frontline Absence & Time experience beneficial and enjoyable. Should you experience difficulty using the system in any way, please contact Sandra Warren at 325-692-4353ext: 1014.
