How to Use the Substitute Teacher Assignment Screen

Synergy SIS > Staff > Substitute Teacher Assignment

If the teacher requested a sub (TeacherVUE > Substitute Instructions) the box will be checked next to their name and you will need to enter the email address of the substitute teacher.  

If the teacher did not request a sub (TeacherVUE > Substitute Instructions) then find their name and check the ‘Requires Sub’ box and SAVE, then enter the email address of the substitute teacher and Save.  In the image below, the email address cannot be entered for teacher Beckman until SAVE is selected.

Note – You have the option to use a ‘common password’ (which will be the same for all substitute teachers) or you may ‘generate common substitute password for me’ to have a different password for each substitute.
