A sub scans the QR code on the printed packet and takes attendance from their own phone.
So the office sees third period's absences during third period.
The sub packet is one printed handout with a QR code: the sub scans it and takes attendance and hall passes from their own phone, with no account.
Try it freeWhat Sub Packet does
The sub gets one link: today's schedule, rosters, attendance, hall-pass authority, and your plans.
So the sub has everything without being handed a login.
A sub can never overwrite attendance a teacher already took.
So handing the roll to a stranger costs you nothing.
Write how your room runs once. It rides along in every packet after that.
So your tenth absence costs the same as your first.
Sound familiar?
- “The sub leaves a note on the desk and we find out at four o'clock.”
- “Subs walk in with a room number and a prayer.”
- “We don't let subs near attendance because we can't undo what they get wrong.”
- “Every time I'm out I rewrite the same page about how my room works.”
The packet exists so a sub can do the day, not just survive it.
What you're using now
The sub packet is a folder on the desk with a seating chart, a note about the fire drill, and whatever the teacher wrote at 6am while sick. The sub can't take attendance in the school's system because they have no login, so the office finds out at four o'clock who was absent. Binder prints the packet and puts the day's real work — attendance, passes — on the sub's own phone behind one QR code.
