There is no need to use a pronoun to avoid gender bias in this sentence. Bias can be avoided by simply eliminating the need for a pronoun:

Any student who wishes to go on the field trip must sign on the board by noon.

There is no singular, gender neutral, pronoun that can take the place of the singular noun "student". It is common practice in English to use the gender neutral, plural pronouns "theirs" or "their" to take the place of a singular, gender neutral noun or pronoun antecedent.

Any student who wishes to go on the field trip must sign their name on the board by noon.

The subject of a sentence is what the sentence is about, the verb tells what the subject is or does. The subject can be a noun or a pronoun; a pronoun takes the place of a noun. A subject pronoun is a pronoun that can only be used for the subject of a sentence, a differnt pronoun must be used for the object(s) of the sentence or phrase. Examples: John is a student. (John is a noun and the subject of the sentence) He is student. (the pronoun he takes the place of the noun as the subject) My house is blue, it has a yellow flowers by the steps. (the pronoun it takes the place of the noun house as subject) The subject pronouns are: I, we, he, she, they. The object pronouns are: me, us, him, her, them.

No, a pronoun does not take the place of a verb at all; a pronoun takes the place of a noun or pronoun (called an antecedent) when the pronoun is the object in a sentence. Examples:You may borrow the book, I think you will enjoy it. (The noun 'book' is the antecedent for the object pronoun 'it'.)He is a student at the university, I miss him when he is away. (The pronoun 'he' is the antecedent for the object pronoun 'him')


How can you identify antecedents in this sentence The antecedent in the following sentence is class Students in online classes have to be organized to keep up with their assignments?

"Students in online classes have to be organized to keep up with their assignments."The pronoun in the sentence is 'their', a possessive adjective. The pronoun 'their' describes something that belongs to two or more people, 'assignments'.An antecedent is the noun or pronoun that the pronoun replaces. The pronoun 'their' is taking the place of a noun for two or more people, the plural noun 'students'.The noun 'classes' is not the antecedent because the assignments do not belong to the classes, the assignments belong to the students (the student's assignments; their assignments).
