Substitute coverage software
without the 6am scramble.
FillMyClass is the simple way for teachers to request coverage and for substitutes to claim jobs in seconds. No calling trees. No group texts. No guessing.
Your 6 AM shouldn't feel like a crisis.
Every school has lived this. One teacher calls out, and suddenly you're the operator of a phone bank, trying to fill classrooms before the first bell. FillMyClass makes it simple.
The old way
- 5:47 AM 3rd grade teacher out. Start the phone tree.
- 6:02 AM “Sorry, I can’t today.” Four texts in a row.
- 6:18 AM Still three classrooms uncovered.
- 6:31 AM Are we combining classes again?
The new morning
- 5:47 AM Request posted to 42 qualified subs.
- 5:49 AM Ms. Rivera accepted
- 6:00 AM Every classroom covered. Coffee’s still hot.

Subs receive instant alerts for jobs via push, email, or text - whatever they prefer.
Preferred subs first

Multi-school support
Run a single campus or a district. Role-based access keeps every view appropriate.

Four steps. Most of them happen automatically while you're still pouring coffee.
Post the request
Enter the details in under 30 seconds. Add notes and choose preferred subs.
Qualified subs are notified
Matching substitutes receive instant alerts. Preferred subs see the job first, for a window set by the admin.
A sub accepts
The first qualified sub to accept is confirmed. Everyone is notified and the job is locked in.
Everyone is looped in
Confirmations go out, reminders are scheduled.
Built for the people who
keep school days covered.
As an administrator, I can quickly see who is absent and who the sub is for the day. FillMyClass has streamlined the process and taken so much stress out of finding substitutes.
Before my school had FillMyClass, getting a substitute was time-consuming and stressful. With the app, teachers are able to request coverage much more efficiently and with ease - just a few clicks in the app.
FillMyClass was a stress-free way to find a substitute. Whether I needed emergency coverage or was planning ahead, I could quickly enter what I needed and get notified when my request was filled.
It’s super easy to use as a teacher and also as a sub.
