Common questions
How do I fill in the substitute plan?
Open the PDF in Chrome, Edge or Adobe Acrobat Reader and click any box to type. Save the PDF to keep your typing. Or print it blank and write by hand.
What paper size is it?
US Letter (8.5 by 11 inches), portrait. It also prints well on A4: choose "fit to page" in the print settings.
Is there a black-and-white version?
