| Substitute Teacher Helpful Hints and Information |  |  |
- If you are a short call substitute teacher whose teaching license expires June 30, 2008 and you plan to continue subbing during the upcoming school year, you'll need to renew your license. To do so, print a copy of a renewal application by going to the Minnesota Department of Education's website at https://education.state.mn.us/MIDMS/login.jsf?AppID=CEL. (Make sure you complete the correct application. If you have questions, you can call 651-582-8691.) Once you have the application completed, submit the application to Saint Paul Public Schools, ATTN: Jill M. Neske, 360 Colborne Street, St. Paul MN 55102. Your file will be reviewed and your application will be signed by Teresa Rogers, Executive Director of Human Resources/Employee Relations. After your application has been signed, you will receive a phone call informing you that you can pick it up in Human Resources at the reception desk on the 3rd floor of 360 Colborne. It is then your responsibility to submit it to the Department of Education for processing. You may not substitute teach during the summer months without a current Minnesota teaching license.
- Aesop starts calling out at 5:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, and usually calls out until about 1:00 p.m. All of the calls you receive in the morning are for subs needed that same day.
- Aesop has an evening call-out period which starts at 5:00 p.m. and ends at exactly 10:00 p.m. All the calls you receive during the evening call-out period are for jobs in the future.
- Weekend call-out is from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
- Substitute teachers MUST have a valid telephone number for Human Resources purposes.
- Principals have the right to place you in a classroom other than the one you accepted from Aesop.
- If you are unavailable to work in the district for a period of time, log on to Aesop and modify your availability. If you do this, Aesop will not call you when you are not available and you will not receive phone calls at 5:00 a.m.
- Substitute timecard books must be taken to each assignment and signed either by the principal or lead secretary. You can expect not to be paid if there is no signature on the timesheet.
- Directions to the schools are your responsibility. If you are not familiar with a school location, secretaries are usually in the building 45-60 minutes before school starts and you certainly can call them for directions.
- Saint Paul Public Schools expects substitute teachers to be in the classroom 15 minutes before school starts and 15 minutes after dismissal time.
