How far in advance do you like to be notified of a student absence? I have a 3rd and 6th grader if that helps. Almost all of the 6th graders stuff is done on his Ipad and probably 75% of the 3rd graders work is as well if that influences your answer. They will be out 3 days at the end of this month and a week at the end of March, but I will make them do all the school work while we are gone. I'm friends with one of the 6th grade teachers at the school and she said by the end of March they are just reviewing concepts for state testing, not learning new things so I'm not really worried about them missing out on in person instruction. I just want to be considerate when speaking to them about the schoolwork for those days and recognize that their time is valuable and I don't want to throw it at them 2 days prior and expect them to get stuff ready in a rush. But now with everything on google classrooms or whatever, I don't lnow if its more or less difficult for them.
