Human Resources and Development → Substitute Employee Management System
An updated version of SEMS was implemented on June 22, 2018, resulting in the following changes:
A new telephone number, 301-298-2864.
A new web address, http://montgomerycountymd.eschoolsolutions.com.
Note: Existing users will remain registered and continue to use their current Outlook login name and password. Additional information highlighting the changes are on this flyer that can be printed for reference.
The Substitute Employee Management System is accessible by telephone and Web and allows teachers, school administrators, school administrative secretaries/timekeepers, and special education paraeducators to enter absences and substitutes to obtain job assignments. All users can review past and future jobs.
Teachers and Special Education Paraeducators:
ALL teachers and special education paraeducators should use the substitute’s Employee ID Number (EIN) when prearranging a substitute for an assignment. If you do not have the substitute’s EIN, you can use the Name Look Up tab.
