Important Information

We are currently using Frontline Absence Management (FAM) (formerly Aesop), an automated system which will call you in the mornings and evenings for substitute assignments. Whenever possible, FAM will call you in the evening for an assignment the next day or beyond. Morning calls are only made for assignments on that day. When FAM calls you for a job, make note of the job number you are given. This will be important in the event that you need more information or need to cancel the job.

In addition, FAM will allow you to go online or on the telephone to select jobs which have been posted in the system. In order to use this feature to its maximum benefit, make sure your profile is up to date with your availability, phone number and qualifications.
You must complete a time card for each assignment. Pick up a timecard at the first site where you substitute each month. Use this card for the entire month (please follow directions on the back of the timecard for the inclusive dates). If you are a substitute teacher, please have the assistant in the classroom sign your time card. If you are an assistant, please have the teacher sign your time card. For those of you who substitute both as a teacher and an instructional assistant, please be sure to use the correct card for each assignment (certificated cards are beige or brown; classified cards are blue, Grizzly certificated are gray, and Grizzly classified are green). At the end of each month, submit this card to the Human Resources Department at the SLOCOE office.

Call the FAM Operator at 782-72213 if you are unsure about your ID number. In most cases, your username is your current working phone number that you have registered with SLOCOE.
