Everything You Do in Frontline

Frontline Education is the online system Noble uses to track your paperwork, professional development points, absences, and time clock. One account covers all of it, and Human Resources manages it end to end.

Three Systems, One Account

Frontline is really three connected websites. Knowing which one you need saves a lot of clicking.

Signing In

Frontline works in any web browser and through the Frontline Education app, which you can download free from your phone's app store. Sign in to either at wwebsitea websitepp.frontlineeducation.com.

Absence Management

Absence Management tracks your absences and assigns substitutes to the jobs that need filling. Entering the absence here is what starts the process — Human Resources fills the substitute from there.

Creating an absence

1. Open Create Absence

   Sign in to Frontline and go to Absence Management. Use the Create Absence tab on the home page, or Absences in the side navigation.

2. Pick your dates

   Click a date on the calendar, or click and drag to select several. Your selection highlights in blue. The days don't have to be consecutive, and on the web you can create an absence up to a year in advance.

3. Fill in the details

   Set Substitute Required, choose your Absence Reason from the dropdown, and set the Time — Full Day, Half Day AM, Half Day PM, or Custom.

4. Add notes and attachments

   Notes to the Administrator are not visible to your substitute. Notes to the Substitute are visible to both. You can also attach Word, Excel, or PDF files — lesson plans, seating charts, duty schedules.

5. Click Create Absence

   The button is in the bottom right corner. Nothing is submitted until you click it.

Checking your leave balances

Your leave balances live in Absence Management, not on your pay stub.

• Under Navigation, select Account — then, under Personal Info, select Absence Reason Balance.
• The initial date is always the last day in June of the previous year — that's the start of the leave year, not an error.

Time and Attendance

Support staff use Time and Attendance to document hours worked. You can clock in through the Time and Attendance website or the Frontline Education app.

Submitting your timesheet

Timesheets are submitted at the end of each pay period.

1. Open your timesheet

   Sign in to Time and Attendance and click the Timesheet icon on your home page. Use the Calendar icon to move to a different timeframe; each day of the week appears as a bar you can open.

2. Review it before you submit

   Check the recorded hours against the days you actually worked, and look for a missing clock-in or clock-out. Reviewing is all you can do here — you can't change your own time.

3. If something's wrong, ask your supervisor

   Only your supervisor can edit your time. Tell them what needs fixing and let them correct it before you submit — a correction is far easier before the timesheet is in the approval queue than after.

4. Submit

   Click Submit in the upper-right corner, check the box beside each timesheet you're submitting, and click Continue. Add a comment for your approver if you need to, tick the box certifying the hours are accurate, and click Submit Timesheets.

The guide above is Frontline's general documentation. Its “Reviewing and Editing Your Timesheet” section describes adding and editing time entries — at Noble those controls belong to your supervisor, not to you. Everything else in it applies.

Forms & Your Personal Information

Frontline is where you view your personal information and complete forms for Human Resources. Find them under Navigation → My Forms → Forms I Can Start.

• Professional development forms — how you turn in a training certificate for PD points. Steps below.
• Tax forms — complete and sign online instead of on paper.
• Direct deposit forms — set up or change where your pay is deposited.
• Apply for leave exchange — submitted here rather than through the Central Office.

Turning In Training & PD Points

District-assigned trainings — Asthma Awareness and Allergy & Anaphylaxis, for example — are completed in OSDE Connect, the State Department of Education's Canvas catalog. Frontline is where the certificate goes afterward. Each of those trainings is worth one PD point, and Human Resources approves them.

Step 1 — Download your certificate from OSDE Connect

1. Log in to OSDE Connect

   Go to o websites websitedeconnect.pdx.catalog.canvaslms.com and sign in.

2. Click your name at the top

   Then go to the Completed tab. For the Allergy & Anaphylaxis training, the certificate is under your name on the Student Dashboard instead.

3. Download and save the file

   Click Download beside the class and save the certificate somewhere you can find it again in a minute.

Step 2 — Submit it in Frontline

1. Open Forms I Can Start

   Sign in to Frontline and go to Navigation → My Forms → Forms I Can Start.

2. Start the Professional Development Points form

   Find it in the list and click Start this form.

3. Upload the certificate and submit

   Attach the file you saved and submit the form. The training and the PD point are then recorded on your Frontline account, and HR has your certificate on file.
