No one plans to get sick or have an unexpected day off. But when life happens (and it will), having a solid guest teacher folder ready to go can make all the difference—for you, your students, and your substitute.
This printable resource is designed to help you pull everything together in one place so you can step away with confidence. Inside, you’ll find pages for your classroom roster, daily schedule, transportation details, emergency procedures, behavior plans, accommodations, contact info, and more. There’s even a spot for technology tips and a daily report so you know how the day went when you return.
You can type directly into the forms or print them and write by hand—whatever works best for you. Either way, taking time to prep this now will save you stress later. Your future self (and your guest teacher) will thank you!
