• 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

    1. The campus Master Scheduler (your campus administrator) will get the long-term sub on the attendance and gradebook roster so they can have access to Skyward.
      1. The Master Scheduler will replace the teacher with the sub in the "Class Meet" on the schedule.
      2. 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.
      3. Note: Grade sheets will populate under the teacher designated as primary. 
      4. Did the sub suddenly lose access? Contact substitute@pisd.edu
    2. After an overnight update, access is automatic to the other OneRoster resources, (ie. HMH, Dreambox, etc.).  Some vendors may take up to 48hrs to update.
