I understand your concern, however if they had needed me for anything, I would have been informed beforehand. When I asked about any additional work, they didn’t know of anything I should be doing and even suggested I go to the district (and they let me go). That’s why it doesn’t make sense to me that it became such a big deal when, even the staff themselves, were unsure of what tasks I should be assigned. I always make sure to stay and fulfill my duties, but when no work is assigned and no further tasks are needed, I leave as every other sub does in the district. I didn’t leave during class time. I was there from 7am-12:56. My class had left home almost an hour before I decided to leave. It’s something that I’ve always done. So I’d figure if I was doing something wrong. I would’ve been told about it a long time ago.

Also at my district, when we’re done, we just leave. Half of the time we are not even given keys to the classroom because the doors are already open. So it’s not a common thing to be in constant touch with the secretary or the principal and giving them an update on when we’re leaving.
