All available substitutes will receive email notifications when substitute positions become available (unless the substitute job is scheduled during one of the substitute's configured non-working times). In this section of the SchoolFront Mobile App you can tell SchoolFront when to notify you of available substitute jobs via text, telephone, and app notifications in addition to the standard email notifications.
By default, all users have the following active notification rules set in the SchoolFront Mobile App. These notification rules may be personalized:
-
Notification Type: Day of Notifications (i.e. notifications about jobs that are happening today)
- Day of the Week: All Days of the Week
- Start Time: 5:30 AM
-
End Time: 12:30 PM
-
Notification Type: Future (i.e., notifications about jobs that are scheduled for the future)
-
Notification Type: Day of Notifications (i.e. notifications about jobs that are happening today)
- Day of the Week: All Days of the Week
- Start Time: 6:30 AM
- End Time: 9:30 PM
-
Notification Type: Day of Notifications (i.e. notifications about jobs that are happening today)
Warning: Prompt delivery of notifications of available substitute jobs can significantly increase the likelihood that you will be able to claim available jobs. Make sure that you do not suppress notifications at times of the day when other substitutes are likely accepting them, or you may miss opportunities.
Add a Notification Preference
Notification preferences are times during which you WANT to receive telephone, text, and Mobile app notifications. SchoolFront will not prevent you from creating notification preferences that overlap or contradict. In the event that there are conflicting notification preferences created, SchoolFront honors notification preferences with the most notifications permitted to increase the chances that the substitute will receive notification of available jobs.
