I would absolutely do your timings! I actually do them at 15 seconds instead of thirty.
Was the SM who backed out around for rehearsals or does the school just not bring anyone in until tech?
If I were in your situation I would be prepared to page them to the stage ASAP. That way they are in your score and you can get used to them just like they were light cues you were calling.
Sometimes it’s amazing how an art form so close to theatre can be so different in the stage management department. Most of all just stay calm be as prepared as you can and ask questions when you need to.
