Real-time school insights
SubNotes is a community-driven platform that helps people better understand schools through practical, moderated information about school environments, facilities, policies, and day-to-day experiences. Subs have the most current view of what schools are like day to day and we learn about schools through their daily notes!
Substitute Teachers are the Core of SubNotes
Subs contribute real, on-the-ground information about schools while maintaining respect and following importantn protocols that protect students and teachers.
What this is
- A structured, facts-first way to document what you can verify.
- Signals about preparedness, policies, facilities, and support.
- A growing knowledge base across SFUSD schools.
Why Substitute Teachers?
- Subs work across many schools, not just one campus.
- They often have the most current view of what schools are like day to day.
- They see different classrooms, policies, facilities, and learning environments throughout the district.
- Their shared experiences help create a practical guide to schools that benefits everyone.
What this is not
- Not a place to vent or complain.
- Not a place to out students or staff.
- Not a place to violate school or district rules.
- Not a place for mandatory reporting.
