CALL your students each week who did not submit work in the last 7 days
Texts are a great tool but calls are required for students who are not working on a regular basis
Parents should be called in weeks 2 and 3 (starting after 7 days of no work)
Send no work text to student (as follow-up or if you do not reach them on the phone)
Send no work text to student AND parent as a group in week two (so everyone is communicated to)
Set-up a call schedule and stick to it each week if the student is an inconsistent worker!
