availability that enables our programs to continue.
This handbook has been prepared for you to provide the guidance
necessary for program continuity and coordination with the regular
teacher’s assignment.

SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE
Welcome to the Issaquah School District. Providing the best and highest quality
education for our students is our goal. Having reliable, fully qualified professional
substitutes in our classrooms has always been a high priority. In these days of
education reform, with increased teacher in-service and outside-of-regular-classroom
obligations, it is even more important that our substitute teachers be focused on student
learning and skilled in effective instruction. Truly, we need and value you.
Because you are in and out of so many classrooms, you have a unique perspective on
this and other districts. You get a big picture of curriculum, school culture and discipline,
and you can take note of best practices from school to school. Your rich experiences
help enrich the classrooms where you do your important work.
If there are ways we can help you be more efficient or effective, please let us know.
Your building principal and our Personnel Office welcome your suggestions. We
appreciate the special contribution you make toward all students learning to their highest
levels and we wish you an exciting and fulfilling year.
Ron Thiele
Superintendent
ISSAQUAH SCHOOL DISTRICT MISSION STATEMENT

STARTING THE DAY
Report to work per the start time listed in SOL (See pages 16 and 17 for exact
schedules). Go directly to the school office and sign the necessary form. Obtain
the individual teacher's substitute folder which will contain seating chart information,
lesson plan location, class record book and names of helpful students. Also included
are classroom procedures with lunch and recess schedules.
TIPS FOR CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT
Put your name on the whiteboard. Take time before beginning the day's activities to tell
the class a little about yourself. Be brief and professional.
Try to put a daily schedule on the whiteboard. It helps the students anticipate what you
expect of them. It also helps you keep track of the regular classroom routine.
Let the class know that you will try to follow the normal classroom routine, but also let
them know that everyone does things somewhat differently.
Any unusual requests from parents or students are to be handled by the building
principal.
Ask the students questions: their names, classroom rules/procedures. The time spent
getting oriented and becoming familiar with the class may make a difference later in the
school day.
State clearly your expectations, but expect the unexpected.
Keep a positive attitude. Be positive in your remarks to students. When you are
circulating around the room (a proven and effective management technique) you are
connecting with the students.
Try to be sensitive to differences. Be aware of different religious and ethnic
backgrounds in the student population and be sensitive that certain holidays might
include songs, stories or art work that could prove uncomfortable to some students.
Correct the day's work. Organize any student papers and label them clearly. Record
grades, if indicated in the grade book.
Write a complete, succinct review of the day's activities. Be sure to indicate portions of
the lesson plan which may not have been completed. Mention individual students who
may have been particularly helpful; list any problems that may have arisen.
Leave the classroom in good order. Have students help in any housekeeping chores
that would provide an orderly classroom upon the regular teacher's return.
It is important to familiarize yourself with any unusual changes in school schedules such
as fire drills, altered class schedules or activities days. If the school secretary does not
apprise you of an unusual school schedule change be sure to ask.
Each school has emergency evacuation plans in place in case of fire, earthquake,
chemical spill or other potentially dangerous situation so that you can successfully
evacuate students safely. Know the location of the CLASSROOM EMERGENCY KIT.
Know who your buddy teacher is and where that person's room is located.

COMPENSATION and LONG TERM SUBBING
Substitute teachers are paid for the actual number of days taught. The Issaquah
School District is currently paying $140.35 for a full day shift (7 hours) and
$89.18 for a half day shift (3 ½ hours). The pay for Wednesday is $106.10 for
elementary (5 hours) and $127.32 for secondary (6 hours). In the event a
substitute is required for 20 consecutive days or more in the same classroom for
the same teacher, the salary will be adjusted to a daily rate equal to the
substitute teacher’s proper placement on the current certificated salary schedule.
This adjustment is retroactive to the first day of the assignment. If the
assignment lasts 90 days or more you earn sick leave and personal leave.
Official transcripts and verification of previous employment are required.

EMERGENCY SCHEDULE
In the event of snow, ice or wind conditions, schools will either be closed or on an
emergency schedule. If you feel the weather may create hazardous travel
conditions, please refer to the following for information:
 Listen to the radio or television between 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
 Call the Issaquah School District's transportation department recorded
announcement number at 837-6333 for information or the substitute
teacher office at 837-7063 for specific assignment information.
 Visit the school district website at: www.issaquah.wednet.edu.
 Go to SchoolReport.org to see if we are closed or delayed.
No radio/TV announcement means schools are in session with normal
operating hours.
If schools are closed, assigned substitutes should not report to the
scheduled school. If schools are on an emergency schedule, schools will
operate with a delayed starting time and most meetings and in-service sessions
requiring substitutes for teachers could be cancelled.
If schools are on a 1 or 2 hour late start, the sub will report 1 or 2 hours late if the
assignment is a full day or an am shift. If you are working a pm shift you will
report the regular pm shift.
SCHEDULE ERRORS AND PREP PERIODS
There will be times when subs are assigned to a job and it is in error. If you have
arrived at a school to find out that there is no assignment for you, you will be
given the following choices:
1. The sub office can try to find you another assignment.
2. You can go home for an unpaid day.
3. You can stay at the school and perform assigned duties. In this case you
will be paid for a 1/2 day.EDU
E ERRORS AND PREP PERIODS
If you have a full day assignment where you have free periods, the secretary can
ask you to cover classes or the library during this time since you are paid for a
full day. If you are asked to cover a class for another teacher on your prep
period, you will be paid extra for that time. The secretary will have you sign a
compensation form for that extra period.

INFORMATION FOR THE SUBSTITUTE
NOTICE OF DISCLAIMER
Substitute employment is an at-will relationship between the Issaquah School District and the
substitute employee. Due to the at-will nature of this relationship, it may be terminated at any
time by either party. Accepting substitute work is by no means an offer of permanent and/or
on-going employment. Additionally, nothing in employee manuals, personnel policies,
employment documentation, substitute handbooks, or oral communication shall be deemed to
create an employment contract or to modify this at-will relationship.
EMERGENCY SUBSTITUTES
Emergency substitute teachers are a valuable part of our district. However, Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction place
certain limitations on the use of Emergency Substitutes in school districts. WAC 181-79-231
states:
As defined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, WAC181-79A231 (4A), and outlined
in the Emergency Substitute Certificate; “….persons with an emergency substitute
certificate may be assigned once the list of otherwise qualified substitutes has been
exhausted.”
Therefore, Emergency Substitutes are not to be prearranged by contracted teachers. You will
need to wait for the morning phone calls by the substitute office.
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
It is very important that you arrive on time!! Some assignments may have a first period prep,
but you are paid for that time and will be expected to be there. Be aware of the school where
you will be subbing, the start time and plan for traffic. This all plays into you arriving on time.
Parking can be an in issue at the high schools, so plan on extra time for that. If your assignment
has a 6th period prep, or your assignment does not have students, you are expected to stay.
Please do not leave early.
COMPUTERS
To log on to the computer at school, you will need the following:
Username: ISDSUB
Password: Teacher2 (T is upper case)
Domain: District
OPTIONAL SERVICE CREDITS
Substitute teachers may qualify to participate in the Teachers Retirement System (TRS)
administered by the Washington State Department of Retire Systems. (DRS). For further
information, go to www.drs.wa.gov.

PARKING
Some schools have assigned parking. You will know if a staff member has
assigned parking when you pick up the job on the sub system. If you do not see a
parking number for the staff member, then park in the visitors section.
CELL PHONES/INTERNET
Cell phones must be off or silenced and WILL NOT be used while in the classroom,
on the playground, or while involved with students. This also includes texting.
Emergencies happen, so if you anticipate a problem, please check with the school
before using your cell phone. Do not use the internet for personal reasons when
you are with students. You will have prep periods, recess and lunch times to use
your phone or the computer. The taking of photos or videos, unless specifically
authorized, should be avoided at all times.
UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
Substitute teachers are ineligible for unemployment compensation provided they
are given assurance on continuing employment in the same or similar position
for the following school year. Issaquah School District gives such written
assurance for the following year.
CHANGE OF ASSIGNMENT
Principals may change the assignment of substitutes to fit the educational needs
within their building.
