Teachers: I have
received the following request from Dee at
the sub desk: " Please stress to the
teachers when calling the recorder to
speak after the beep. I've been getting
calls and don't hear the name or school
etc. Also, sub teachers have been calling
in and confirming assignments that I know
nothing about. The teacher or the
secretary has to call it in or email the
sub desk." Please help us out and let me
know when you have made arrangements with
a particular sub teacher to come in during
your absence. It's good to let me know so
that I can also check to see that they
have been cleared and hired to work.
Thanks.
