Substitutes (long-term)
Long-term Substitute Access to Technology
- A long-term sub is a CONTRACTED substitute filling a single staff position for 21 consecutive days or more at one location.
- If their contract has been extended, your office manager will need to update the district.
- At the end of their contract date, just like any staff member, their access to selected district sites will be restricted.
Computer Login
- All substitutes automatically have a PISD computer login, email, and Google account.
- If they have forgotten their password, contact the Help Desk or CTA to reset it, and it will be pushed through to their district accounts.
Digital Textbooks/Resources
- The Master Scheduler (campus administrator) will get the long-term sub on the attendance and gradebook roster so they can have access to Skyward.
- The Master Scheduler will replace the teacher with the sub in the "Class Meet" on the schedule.
- If the sub's name does not appear in the search, contact substitute@pisd.edu.
- Step-by-step instructions are in the Campus Training Manual.
- The teacher who is on leave should have an end date when they go on leave and the sub should be designated as the primary teacher in each Meet.
- Note: Grade sheets will populate under the teacher designated as primary.
- Did the sub suddenly lose access? Contact substitute@pisd.edu.
- The Master Scheduler will replace the teacher with the sub in the "Class Meet" on the schedule.
- After an overnight update, access is automatic to the other OneRoster resources, (ie. HMH, Dreambox, etc.). Some vendors may take up to 48 hrs to update.
