Designed For School Substitution Planning
This Excel calendar helps you keep teacher absence coverage and substitute duty planning visible by date. You can use it for routine leave cover, emergency cover, department coverage, library or staff room duties, and other school scheduling events. The workbook is not a payroll, attendance, HR approval, or compliance system; it is a practical calendar and event planning template.
Calendar Views
The Annual View gives a full-year overview so teams can scan the academic calendar quickly. The Monthly View shows planned substitution events on a selected month, making it easier to see coverage patterns and important school dates. The Daily View lists event names, times, and locations so the day can be checked without opening several files.
This Month Summary
The This Month Summary page provides a compact look at active days, locations used, events in the next seven days, top locations, and upcoming schedule items. It is useful for quick coordination meetings where the school office needs a current snapshot of substitution activity.
Events Page
The Events page is where the template keeps the event list behind the calendar views. The inspected workbook includes sample school administration entries such as New Year Term Planning, Cover for Absent Teacher, Substitute Duty, Relief Roster Published, Supply Teacher Induction, Cover Supervisor Briefing, Planned Leave Cover, and Exam Invigilation Cover. Replace the sample rows with your own school schedule after downloading.
