How Subbing Works

STMA uses an absence management system called SmartFind. Current staff post days that they will be absent in the system and substitutes can view openings and request to fill the opening. Depending on the qualifications assigned, SmartFind may also contact subs in the mornings or evenings with openings by phone. For questions on the substitute system, please contact Grace Sawatzke at (763) 497-6532.
