Sub Plan Builder

Fill in the boilerplate once — it's saved in this browser. Then just add today's lesson and export a ready-to-print Word doc.

Standing details — saved automatically, only edit these when something actually changes

These stay in your browser (localStorage) between visits. Nothing here leaves your computer.

Quick checklist for the sub — printed at the very top of every plan Where are the keys? (optional) Who should the sub ask if something comes up? (optional) If the projector / computer doesn't work… (optional)

Sign-off name

Moves everything in this section — never the Student Notes box below, since that's never saved anywhere — to another computer or a colleague.

Emergency info — always printed at the top of the plan, no matter how short today's lesson is

Saved with standing details, just like the rest of this section. This block is always included — in the printed/quick-copy plan and in the .docx — so a sub can find it in two seconds.

Fire / evacuation route (optional) Lockdown procedure (optional) Medical alerts (optional — allergies, seizure protocol, etc.)

Recent plans — reopen an earlier day's plan as a starting point

Loading a saved entry fills in the title, overview, schedule, and period notes below — never the Student Notes box, since that box is intentionally never saved.

Today's plan

This part is freeform and isn't saved — fill it in fresh each time.

First day out

Days out (school days)

Lesson / activity title

Day type (optional — fills in a starter template for Overview / Schedule / Materials below)

One-off announcement banner (optional — e.g. a club cancellation, schedule change) Overview — what's happening today, in a sentence or two, plus the task itself Class schedule & timing — one step per line, use **bold** for the lead-in

All periods are doing the same thing today

Period notes — one note per line, use **bold** for emphasis

Materials / where to find things (optional) Seating chart image (optional — embedded directly into the Word doc, on every day's page)

No image attached.

Pick a class you have already seated in the Seating Chart Generator (the room is drawn for you), or attach any photo or screenshot. Like Student Notes below, this image is never saved — it lives only in this tab until you generate or leave the page.

Also save this plan as a dated history entry (everything above except Student Notes)

Student notes & concerns (optional)

Not saved. This box is cleared when you leave or refresh this page — it never sits in browser storage, so it's safe to use for IEP/504 reminders or behavior notes tied to a specific student.

Hand this plan to someone else

Puts the whole plan — standing details, every day out, every period note — inside a link. Nothing is uploaded: the plan travels in the link itself, so the office or a colleague opens it in their own browser with no email attachment and no account. The Student Notes box below is never included, the same rule the saved history follows.

What the sub said — a note for each day out, written after you're back

Type what the sub told you, or what their feedback page said. It stays on this device only: it is not in the share link, the saved history, the Word file or the text copy, and it is never sent anywhere. A day with a note is marked ✓.

Day What the sub said (up to 2,000 characters)

Good to know

Everything in "Standing details" is saved only in this browser (localStorage) — it won't sync to another computer.
Use **text** in any of the note fields to bold that part in the exported document.
The Student Notes box is intentionally never saved — refreshing the page clears it. The attached seating chart image works the same way.
The generated Word doc includes a real header/footer with page numbers, and period-by-period info as an actual table — not just a plain-text copy for the quick text copy view.
No student names or other data are sent anywhere — the Word doc is built entirely in your browser.
"Days out" counts school days only — weekends are skipped automatically, so 3 days out starting Friday means Friday, Monday, and Tuesday.
The Sub Binder Generator reads whichever dates you've selected here to default its own date picker — no need to re-enter the date there.
