Sub plans & “I'm out”

Leave plans for a substitute in a couple of minutes — and a link they can open without an account.

TeachersAdmins
  1. On Today, choose ⋯ → I'm out — leave sub plans (or Leave plans for your sub on Time off).
  2. Set the First day out and Last day out. Choose Also tell the office if you haven't requested the time off yet.
  3. For each class, choose what the sub runs: The lesson as planned, A simpler sub version, or The emergency plan.
  4. Add a Note for the sub — only the sub sees it. Everything saves as you type.
The I'm out page — each class with its plan choice and a note for the sub.
The I'm out page — each class with its plan choice and a note for the sub.

The emergency plan

Every class can keep one ready: class ⋯ → Emergency sub plan. Write a note and the plan's parts, and choose Save emergency plan. It's used whenever there's no plan for the day.

A sub link

For a sub without a Trivium account, choose Make a sub link on the day (Protect new links with a PIN is on by default). Copy the link and PIN — they're shown once. The sub sees only that day's plans, can take attendance and leave you a note, and the link stops working at the end of the day; Turn off ends it sooner.

Subs with an account see the same plans under Covering today, and their Handoff note comes back to you.
