You are a Representative
- As a representative of Sub Teacher Source, it is imperative that you be ON TIME to assignments.

Tardies/Cancellations/No Call No Shows
- We understand that emergencies happen, and that life can be unexpected at times.
- There will be a time when you’re stuck in traffic and running late.
- However, our job is to provide quality, responsible subs to our partner schools.
- We watch for any patterns from subs who are constantly late, calling in, no call/no showing.

What happens when I’m tardy?
- First, Placement will contact the school to make them aware.

Continuous tardies = DNU’s or Separation from Sub Teacher Source.
What Happens When I Cancel an Assignment?
