Red Rover vs. Employee Online

Do you ever require a substitute to cover your absence(s)?

If your response is "yes" to the question above, you will use Red Rover to log your absences and leave.

Download the Free Red Rover App:

Weber School District has transitioned from Frontline (AESOP) to Red Rover for absence management, effective July 1, 2025; however, absences cannot be entered entered until August 1, 2025.

What's my login information?

If you are an employee of Weber School District, you will use your WSD account (full email address) to sign in via SSO. Substitutes will use their personal email address on file with Edustaff.

Do I need to create an absence even if I do not require a sub?

Yes. Please ensure to toggle your absence to "No Sub Required."

Time Reporting: Full-Day vs. Hourly Entry

Full-Day Time Entry
The "Full-Day" option is used to report a standard 8-hour workday. This option should only be selected by employees who are contracted to work 8 hours per day.

Hourly Time Entry
If your contracted daily hours are less than 8 hours, you should use the "Hourly" option to accurately reflect your work schedule. This ensures proper time tracking and compliance with your employment agreement.

Note: Always verify your contracted hours before selecting a time entry method.

Requesting a Specific Substitute for a Prearranged Absence

You may assign a specific substitute when submitting a prearranged absence. However, this option should only be used if:

  • You have personally contacted the substitute, and

  • The substitute has confirmed their availability and willingness to accept the assignment.

⚠️ Important: Do not assign a specific substitute unless you have received direct confirmation. This helps ensure accurate scheduling and prevents unfilled positions.

Can I still create a preferred substitutes list?

Yes.

Can I leave notes or lesson plans for my sub?

Yes, preferably in PDF format to prevent file sharing and viewing issues.
