Substitute Teacher Shoutout
We are thrilled to announce a new initiative to celebrate the incredible work of our substitute teachers! Schools are encouraged to nominate substitutes who have demonstrated exceptional performance on their campus by submitting Form 1754.
Each month, the Substitute Office will randomly select nominees to receive a special Substitute Teacher Shoutout. Thanks to the generous support of our partners at iTHINK Financial, selected substitutes will be surprised at their school site and presented with a $100 gift card!
Special thanks to our sponsor:
