    1. Teachers - If you notify Bev that you are going to be out a week in advance, please fill out a 101 Form and give it to Bev.  If you give her your 101 Form a week before you will be out, she will schedule a substitute for you.  If you are going to be out and you notify Bev with less than a week's notice, you will need to call the sub service for a sub at 872-1049.  You still need to let Bev know.  Teachers also need to fill out a 208 Form the day they return from being absent.
