We can accept your fingerprinting results if your fingerprinting was done through the Peoria County Regional Office of Education (672-6906), regardless of when they were done. You may contact the Peoria County Regional Office of Education to obtain a copy of your fingerprinting results if you had fingerprinting done there in the past. If they were done through another county’s Regional Office of Education, or another agency, you will need to have fingerprinting done through the Peoria County Regional Office of Education.

The physical and TB test that we require must have been performed within the past 90 days. TB test is required ONLY if you will be subbing in pre-k classes. The physical results do not necessarily need to be recorded on the form that is included in the Substitute Packet, but the results must indicate that you are free of communicable, contagious, and infectious disease and found to be in adequate health to perform the duties of the position. The results must also be signed by a physician, an advanced practice nurse or physician’s assistant.

Your application and Substitute Packet will be reviewed by the District Office.  If all documents are acceptable, you will receive an email from Public School Works with your logon id and password to complete your online trainings.  After you have notified Human Resources that you have completed these trainings, you will receive  login information for our automated substitute placement system, Aesop. Once you receive this email, you are active as a substitute in our District and are eligible for assignments. Information submitted with your Substitute Packet (including email address, phone number, preferred schools, and non-work days) will be entered in Aesop by the District Office.

After you receive your login information for Aesop, you will then need to stop by the District Office to be set up on our TimeClocks.

Aesop is our automated substitute placement system.  Once you receive an Aesop login, you may login to the Aesop website (http://www.frontlinek12.com/Products/Aesop.html) or call 800-942-3767 to view open assignments that are within your visibility. Every sub has a unique visibility of assignments based upon availability, preferred schools, assigned skills, school and employee preferred substitute lists, etc.  Aesop makes outgoing phone calls for openings that have not been filled online or from incoming calls from substitutes.

However, only about 7% of openings are filled by outgoing calls – most of them are filled by substitutes proactively logging in or calling Aesop.

You may change your PIN, phone number and email address by logging in to Aesop. You may also change your preferred schools, your calling times (Aesop’s current call times are 5:30 am – 11:59 am, and 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm). In addition, you can add non-work days for days that you are not available. Aesop will not contact you for assignments that occur on days that you’ve entered as non-work days; however, Aesop may contact you on non-work days regarding future assignments.

All substitute accounts are inactivated in Aesop at the end of each school year. Substitutes are not able to login to Aesop until they have been activated for the upcoming school year.

If you are an active sub for the current school year, you will receive renewal information by mail over the summer, once the school year is complete. Once you meet the outlined requirements for renewal, then you will be activated as a sub for the upcoming school year. You will receive an email with your Aesop login once you have been re-activated.

Frontline Technologies (creators of Aesop) offers a subscription service called “Jobulator” that searches the user’s available job list once per minute and sends an alert to their computer, iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch), or Android-powered device when a job is found in their Aesop account. Jobulator does not change how Aesop works for our District and substitutes. Jobulator will honor the skill matching and preference list settings that are already configured in Aesop. If you have questions or are interested in Jobulator, please visit www.jobulator.com, or email support@jobulator.com.
