Just a reminder when providing information for our subs:

Provide very detailed and really well laid out plans.
Provide accurate seating charts
The placement of your sub plans needs to be easily accessible and easy to locate within your classroom for the sub to find.
With a subbing shortage these things really affect their desire to return to our building... so just be cognizant of these things.
