Students missing class is inevitable. Being organized will help save time, effort, and frustration. My solution was to have an absent/extra bin in my classroom.

- A large crate that can hold hanging files
- 5 or more laminated sheets with absent information (Ideas listed below)
- 6 Labeled folders with the days of the week and "Older"
- Laminated Sheet with "Absent/Extra Classwork" in large font
- Wet erase marker
How to do it:
- In my first class, I have a trustworthy student with neat handwriting who fills out the form using the wet-erase marker.
- The completed form is placed in the corresponding hanging folder along with the worksheets.
- I clean off the form for the next day so it can dry overnight. Any worksheets left over are placed in the "Older" folder.
Laminated Absent Information Form:
There are many options on Teachers Pay Teachers that can be downloaded or you can create your own. Information to include:
- Date
- List of activities
- Anything handed in/graded?
- Homework assigned
