[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a HS math teacher, trying to keep up with/navigate/input into the online calendars is a nightmare, especially when the admin changes either the requirements or the platform practically every other year. It takes a LOT of time to input assignments, and then with all the interruptions and schedule changes, anything I put onto the calendar almost always has to be changed, throwing off the assignment list usually for the rest of the semester as I have to push each assignment forward (math is like that!)

I finally went back to simply writing it on the board every day, and the kids like it much better. If someone is absent, their "HW Buddy" texts a picture of the assignment on the board - done. [/quote]

I have a child with HFA. Nobody in his class is going to text him to let him know a test was announced. Please make it so all kids can access the info, not just the popular ones and the ones healthy enough to be in school that day.[/quote]

I assume everyone in class is assigned 1-2 people they are responsible for notifying.  I've seen teachers where everyone is paired up and a portion of the day is communicating with absent students.  Regardless though, as long as test and quiz are written on the board at the beginning of the unit, that gives students multiple weeks to see the dates unless they are out sick for weeks.  And if they're out for weeks, alternative arrangements are going to be made anyway.[/quote]
