Notes for Teacher
| Item | Note | Follow-Up Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance differences | [names per school policy] | Yes/No |
| Students needing check-in | [brief note] | Yes/No |
| Materials used or missing | [details] | Yes/No |
Safety or Incident Handoff
If there was a safety, nurse, behavior, or office issue, note that the required school report was completed and tell the teacher where to find it. Do not include unnecessary private details on the general form.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Keep the main form short; substitutes often complete it between classes or at dismissal.
- 💡Separate routine teacher notes from formal incident reporting.
- 💡Use checkboxes for lesson completion so teachers can act quickly on return.
- 💡Avoid placing sensitive student information in a form that too many people can access.
