A referral to the PT will also be entered. You are then responsible for collecting it at the end of the lesson.
Homework Homework will be recorded in your homework diaries and on the board at the front of the room. As you are normally given a few days to complete homework, there is no excuse for not doing it. If you know you have clubs or other engagements after school, you must find time to do it at lunch or during Personal Support.
