I make these for my students, especially for students on IEPs or 504s, to make sure they are on track with turning their work in on time. This way, I can hold them accountable for coming in to meet with me, or at least be in my classroom during the Advisory period to work on missing assignments.
The blank space I provide is where I bullet point all of their missing assignments. I also put a strict deadline on the slip, because of my strict late work policy (but this of course can be changed).
