2. Notification for Substitute Opportunities
Gilmer ISD is now using Frontline (formerly Aesop) Absence Management System for district employees to enter an absence and a request for a substitute. Frontline is an automated system that calls approved substitutes when a teacher has entered an absence and it has been approved by the principal. You are able to view jobs online or receive a phone call detailing the available jobs.

9. SKYWARD
Skyward is the software program that GISD uses to allow all employees access to view and print paystubs and W2 forms. In an effort to conserve paper, we do not print these documents; however, if you do not have access to a computer or a printer, you can come to the administration building and our Payroll staff will provide you a copy.
Skyward has a mobile app that is available on most smartphones that allows you to view this information. If your phone is not compatible with the app, please contact your provider as we cannot fix the compatibility problems with our software.
GISD will provide you with a Gilmer ISD account, and an account for Skyward. We highly recommend that you use your same information when setting up your Frontline account to accept sub jobs.
