Timmy and Angela both take proper steps to handle their school absences. Timmy gets a sheet from the office listing what he will miss, then checks in with teachers upon returning to get his work. Angela checks in with teachers before and after her sickness to get assignments. Both students complete their work quickly to stay on top of their schoolwork during their absences. The tips suggest checking in with teachers before and after being absent, finishing work today rather than procrastinating, and using class time wisely to work on homework.
