SubFinder

Whether for unforeseen circumstances or a planned absence, finding a substitute teacher can be challenging. The Division provides SubFinder, a program designed to assist teachers to arrange an appropriate substitute, regardless of the length of notice.

Helpful Tips for Reporting in SubFinder:

• Recognition of Extra-curricular Activities Leave is reported as “Leave of Absence With Pay”.
• Please ensure the Extra-curricular Activity Form is completed and attached to the Leave Request Form.
• Medical appointment events are reported as “Medical Appointment” (not illness).
• Illness and recovery from medical procedures, such as surgery are reported as “Illness”.
• Report absences associated with the Personal Professional Development Fund as “PPDF Event”.
• Report all other PD absences as “PD Event”.
• Report all absences, even if no substitute is required.
• Report absences at least 5 days in advance of an event, except in case of emergency or illness. Known absences can be reported within context of the school year.
• Indicate special instructions to advise a substitute if you are an itinerant teacher. Identify the different school sites and start times.
• The WebConnect internet link to SubFinder requires indication of a.m. and p.m. for start and end times.
