                         MONDAY - FRIDAY 5:30 AM – 2:00 PM

Our substitute management system eSchool Solutions SmartFindExpress (SFE) is a web browser and/or
telephone-based system that manages employee absences and substitute job assignments. As a substitute
you can use SFE to view and accept substitute assignments, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, via the web
and/or telephone.

       Via the telephone, call SFE at 425-233-8917, enter your access and PIN and follow the voiced
       instructions. After you have registered yourself, voice your name and selected a new PIN, you may
       access SFE via the internet by logging on to SFE at https://bellevue.eschoolsolutions.com or
       telephone system by calling 425-233-8917.
                           *Please remember to note all new pin numbers in a secure place.
                            This practice will be helpful in the event you forget the number.

With the SFE system you have complete control of your schedule. If you are not available to substitute,
please check yourself out of SFE by updating your calendar. For example, if you know you aren’t available
this coming Monday, Wednesday and Friday, log on to SFE and mark yourself unavailable for those days.
If you do not check yourself out, SFE will assume you are available to work and may call you during the
morning calling period.

When SFE calls to offer you an assignment, the first thing it will do is request your Access/PIN number.
Your Access number is assigned to you by BSD and is not connected in any way with your social security
number.

               SFE’s telephone system calling periods are:
                      Morning:      5:15am – 12:00pm
                      Evening:      5:00pm - 9:00pm

NOTE: Only assignments for that day are called during the morning calling period. Please consider these
jobs carefully - accept them when possible as often they are critical fill positions!
NOTE: The evening calling period offers all positions for the next day as well as for the next 30 days.

When teachers or other employees get to know your work, they may request you as their sub when they are
absent. In order to request you from SFE, the employee will need to know your first and last name. Positions
are filled in the order of: 1) requests, 2) preference lists, 3) skills list and 4) available staff.

Please remember to keep your contact information (email address, home address and phone number)
current. Without this information SFE and/or the Bellevue Substitute Office cannot contact you.

  If you regularly decline assignments, BSD reserves the right to discontinue offering you substitute
                                         employment with us.

EMAIL ACCESS
As a substitute for the Bellevue School District, you will be assigned a district network account
and password once you are set up for your first substitute assignment. The username and
password for your account will be emailed to your personal email address. This will allow you to
login to district computers, and to access email from any computer.

The first time you login you must be on a district computer while connected to the district
network. Once you login, you will be prompted to change your password.

The login information is as follows:

   •   Username: this is your last name and first initial, i.e. James Smith would have a
       username of smithj and an email address of smithj@bsd405.org. Note: if there is already
       a smithj in the district, additional letters from your first name are added to the user id i.e.
       smithja.
   •   Password: the default password is Eid#employee id, i.e. Eid#12345
   •
Please call the Help Desk at (425) 456-4321 (x4321 from a district phone) if you need assistance
logging in for the first time.
Once you have successfully logged onto a district computer and changed your default password,
you can access your email account by going to the Bellevue School District website at
www.bsd405.org, click on the Staff menu in the top right corner, and select Email Access.

You will be prompted to enter your username and password. If you are on a non-district
computer, you will then need to enter your full email address and password again. This will give
                                                 10
you access to Microsoft Outlook Online, which includes the Mail, Calendar, People and Tasks
functionality.

Retirement Savings Options
• Voluntary Retirement Savings Programs
All district employees are eligible to participate in the Bellevue School District’s two voluntary
retirement savings programs. These are tax-deferred retirement savings plans that allow
employees to save money for retirement. These plans offer a way to increase your retirement
savings through regular, planned investing while you’re working. You manage your account by
determining how much to save each pay period. Your contributions are deducted from your pay
on a tax-deferred basis and placed in the investment options of your choice.

The Bellevue School District offers two voluntary retirement savings programs:
   ▪ Washington State Deferred Compensation Program (DCP)
   ▪ 403(b) Retirement Savings Program.

You can start contributing to a DCP account or 403(b) account at any time during the year.
Enrollment is voluntary, and contributions can be started, changed or stopped at any time during
the year. There is no employer matching contribution for either program.

To learn more about DCP go to www.drs.wa.gov/dcp. To learn more about the 403(b) programs
go to www.ncompliance.com.

• Washington State Retirement System
The Bellevue School District participates in the Washington State Retirement System. Substitute
positions are not automatically enrolled in the retirement systems. However, at the end of the
school year you may be eligible to pay into the retirement system and earn service credit toward
retirement.

Your hours and earnings are reported to the Department of Retirement Systems by each
employer you work for during the school year, but contributions are not deducted from your
paycheck. If you meet eligibility requirements and would like to receive service credit for the
hours you’ve worked during the school year you must apply with DRS and pay the appropriate
contributions by requesting a substitute bill. You can do this beginning in September following
the school year.

   ▪   Established Members of the Retirement System – if you’re an established member of
       the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS) or the School Employees’ Retirement System
       (SERS) you can contribute to your retirement account at the end of every school year.
   ▪   New Members – to establish membership for the first time you must work as a substitute
       for 70 or more hours per month for at least five months during a school year. You must
       choose between Plan 2 and Plan 3.

To learn more about this program please go to www.drs.wa.gov. In the publications and forms
section click on Substitutes. Classified positions fall under the School Employees’ Retirement
System (SERS) and Certificated positions fall under the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS).

If you have questions or need additional information about any of these programs, please contact
the BSD Payroll Retirement Analyst at (425) 456-4251.

Lockdown vs. Lockout

In order to remain consistent with the Bellevue Police Department and other responder agencies, BSD utilizes
the terminology “Lockdown” and “Lockout”.
                                                             Lockout

                                                               • Threat outside the school
   • Threat inside the school
                                                               • Move students inside
   • Secure classroom doors
                                                               • Secure the perimeter
   • Turn off lights
                                                               • Continue normal activities inside
   • Set up tactically in your space
                                                               • Be prepared to escalate to

       Active Shooter Response Training is offered periodically both at the district and school levels.
       This training is continually evolving, so be sure to catch a session even if you attended last year.
       Location specific Active Shooter Response walkthroughs are also available from the Safety &
       Security Department.

       Shelter-in-Place Drills

       A Shelter-in-Place drill is not the same as a Lockdown drill.

       This drill is practice for response to a chemical release outside the building. The correct
       procedure for Shelter-in-Place is to:

       shut down the HVAC system (simulate for a drill)
       seal doors, windows, and vents with plastic sheeting and duct tape – a wet towel or clothing items
       can be used to seal the gap under the door (simulate with dry items during a drill)
       stay calm and quiet in the room
       wait for further instructions or the “all clear”

       Ideally, plastic sheeting should be pre-cut to fit all openings and stored folded in each room with
       an appropriate number of rolls of duct tape depending on the size of the room. Each sheet and
       opening can be numbered to speed application in an actual event.

       Emergency Supplies

        Each school has a room or shipping container for the storage of emergency supplies.
       The Safety and Security Department provides some emergency water. We are providing canned,
       long-term storage water for all schools. The cans are of a manageable size, store and organize
       easily, and have high crush resistance.
       Some schools may also still have food-grade water storage containers in 5, 15, or 50-gallon
       sizes. The safety team at each site is responsible for ensuring these containers are emptied and
       refilled at least every other year.
