WYWO Folder
By Jennifer in OK

Clip to ScrapBook   
This year, with my school going to departmentalization, I figured out the best way to deal with papers from missed days was not to leave them on their side of the desk (it certainly didn't work!), but I put a WYWO (While You Were Out) folder on my whiteboard tray. My partner teacher and I told the kids that they were responsible for checking in their homeroom for any papers they missed while they were out and get them out of the folder. It really helped with students and the excuse "It wasn't in my desk." I made sure it was a bright pink folder in both classes and I put a big sign on the front of it. I would clip their papers together and put the date absent at the top so I knew when it was assigned and when it should be turned in.
