You all bring up some interesting points.
By b2t

I try to keep the students in during recess to cover missed instruction, but I get so mixed up with "who needs to learn what" because on any given day students are gone. Sometimes I need to prep for my afternoon during the
student's recess so this isn't even always feasible.

Now HW and CW I have been putting in their mailbox with the date and absent written at the top, but they still often don't get the instruction that's needed to complete it, or I forget to do it. If they have a quiz or a test I keep those in a folder marked "Absent" for them to take during a recess time. Honestly, sometimes I

have sent the quiz/test home just so it can get done because I didn't have the time to administer it in school.

I know this isn't best practice so that's why I'm trying to find some different ways of handling this.

As far as my "new way" of them getting their work...I thought about having those plastic wall mount file holders placed on the chalkboard with magnets (or another board if necessary).

Each one would have the subject on the outside. Inside would be file folders labeled with the date. Inside the folder would be the CW and HW from that day. I thought this would be good for students who always seem to misplace their papers to use also.

All in all I want something that's not complicated for them or for me.
