permission to attend a
conference.
Here’s a quick checklist of
things to do the day before
you’re out of school.

your classes.

the work to your classes in
the previous lesson.

tell them what the work
will be.

containing all the work.

finish the set work earlier
than expected.

and passwords for the
substitute teacher if you
