  1. WELCOME BACK RAPID CITY AREA SCHOOLS RETURNING SUBSTITUTE ORIENTATION 2012-2013

  2. Your Substitute Handbook is Available on-line this year. You can select pages to print...or print the whole handbook. SUBSTITUTE HANDBOOK

  3. At your convenience, stop by Human Resources to pick up a time card to start the year. If you need a new parking pass, we will be happy to give you one. MONTHLY TIME CARDS

  4. One month per time card Turn your time card in to the sub office in a timely manner, so that payroll can be processed efficiently. By 4:30 the last working day of EACH month worked. You are required to turn in your time card each working month, EVEN IF YOU ONLY WORKED A HALF DAY. Your attention to this detail is very important. The auditors require a signed time card. Pay is withheld if the time card is not received. If your time card is not turned in, you MAY also be restricted from accepting further sub jobs. In addition, already assigned jobs MAY be removed until the time card is received. MONTHLY TIME CARDS

  5. Please total your time card. When calculating your time please remember that full days are added as one (1) and half days are added as one half (0.5). MONTHLY TIME CARDS

  6. You will submit the Profile sheet electronically as part of this process. As always, you can make adjustments as you wish. If you want to make changes during the school year, just stop by to let me know. SUBSTITUTE PROFILE SHEET

  7. Promethean Board Training will be offered again this year. If you have already taken this training you do not need to take it again—unless you opt too. When the trainer schedules classes, this will be announce via e-mail to your K12 email account. If other training opportunities become available, these will also be announced via K12 e-mail. SUBSTITUTE TRAINING

  8. A new feature in WebConnect this year is that staff are now able to request subs from a preferred list they create. Should you receive a request as part of a request list, please know that a small number of subs (up to 4) may have also received that request. By the time you check your email or WebConnect, another sub MAY have already accepted it and the job will no longer be available. Individual requests are still available and that process has not changed. Reminder: If you are not able to accept a job that you have been REQUESTED for, please “Decline” the offer as soon as possible. Once you decline it, it will become available for another sub to accept, increasing the odds of it filling for that staff person. WEBCONNECT UPGRADE

  9. Make every effort to report on time (according to SubFinder). If you are running late (even 10 minutes) or receive a late call, let the Sub Office or school know. Communication makes for an easier arrival transition to the start of the day. Chronic lateness, MAY result in being excluded from a building. Punctuality increases the chances of being called back for another job. ARRIVAL TIMES

  10. Pay attention to the length of the job, the beginning and end dates and times. This example is for 4.5 days. All day: Wed-Fri Sept 19, 20 & 21, then a Half day on Mon Sept 24 (morning only). Only accept jobs that you are able to work completely. If something changes (preventing you from working all the days), please call the sub office for direction. Remember, the staff person called the absence in as one assignment, as they would like ONE sub to cover their classes. JOB TIMES

  11. Pay special attention to the ending time for the job. Schools DO require subs to be present up to the end of the duty day, even if there are no students in your care. Ask if you can be of assistance to a staff member or in the office. IF there is no help needed and the administrator releases you for the day, then feel free to leave at that point. END OF DAY

  12. The District schedule includes early release on MOST Wednesdays for the 2012-2013 school year. Student days end anywhere between 1:00 pm and 1:40 pm, depending on the school. If you are scheduled for more than 4.5 hours, you will receive a full day of pay. The administrator may ask for you to remain on site to help in various ways at the end of the early release, to the end of the normal day. The student calendar is posted on the District Website www.rcas.org >Parents & Students > Student Calendar Early release Wednesdays are listed here. WEDNESDAY EARLY RELEASE

  13. If you received your South Dakota Teaching certificate this summer, or renewed your certificate, please be sure I have it. If you submitted it electronically with an employment application, it wouldn’t be normally routed to me. Email or call me and I can go to your application to print it, otherwise, just bring it to the office. If you are still waiting for your certificate, be sure I get it as soon as you receive it. Receiving certified pay is dependant on our office having a current copy. TEACHER CERTIFICATE

  14. Sub pay has been reviewed and it has been determined, at this time, that the budget does not allow an increase in sub pay. Rates are: $80.00/day for certified subs and those teachers that retired from RCAS. $65.00/for non-certified teacher subs. $9.90/hour for clerical subs $9.80/hour for paraprofessional subs 5-day in a row bonus for teachers subs stands at $75.00 for each 5-day cycle 50 day bonus once you have subbed 50 days for the 2013-2013 school year. This increases your rate of pay $10.00/day for the remainder of the school year. Long-term teacher pay : Certified $125.00/day starting the 21st day Non-certified $105.00/day starting the 21st day SUB PAY
