Missing Work Log

March 25, 2014

*Originally posted on E, Myself, and I (4/2011 and updated 8/2013).

EDITED TO ADD: My Missing Work Log/ “Yellow Sheet” is an idea I got from a veteran teacher during my field experience in college.  I have used it for eight years now with great success.  Many of my own colleagues (and lots of you – thanks to the ole internet) have also adapted this classroom routine, and I’ve received a lot of great feedback.  This year, I updated the sheet a little bit and made a simple printable version so it can be used in your class right away.  I hope you will find it useful… To start, here’s a quick explanation of how the Missing Work Log works:

On the day an assignment is due, the rule in my classroom is that EVERYONE turns SOMETHING in.  If a student does not have his/her assignment, he/she must fill out one of these Missing Work Logs (which I affectionately call “The Yellow Sheet” because they are printed out bright yellow paper) and turn it in in place of said assignment.  Blank logs are kept in a stack at the front of my classroom, and my students know to grab one if they are missing an assignment on a due date. (Over the years, this journey to retrieve a yellow sheet at the front of the room has become known as the “walk of shame” in class.  It’s all in good humor; but, it does play on their pride and keep them in line a bit.)

The log itself asks for basic information like the assignment title, due date, and student signature.  Once it has been filled out and turned in, I keep the Missing Work log in my stack of collected papers for the assignment OR on my attendance clipboard so I know to nag remind those students constantly until the assignment is turned in.

DSC_0496

The next day/week/month when the late assignment is (finally) turned in, I record the date it was turned in, the number of points deducted (based on school policy – ours is 10% per day late), and the final score.  **This version of the log also includes a spot to record contact with the student and parent about missing work too.  I don’t make personal contact for every missing assignment; but, it is nice to have a spot to record that information right there when I do.

The bottom portion of the sheet is detached when an assignment is turned in and stapled to the assignment, so the student (and parent) knows exactly why they got the score they did on an assignment.  The top portion gets filed and saved in my record.

 If the assignment never comes in, a zero is recorded in the grade book and the yellow sheet gets filed. These work GREAT on parent teacher conference day and help to keep me from being accused of losing student work, etc.

Here’s a closer look:

MissingWorkLog_zps1c798a74

Click here to download the log as a PDF and start using it right away!  (Again, I usually print mine on bright yellow paper so that they stand out among ALL the papers I usually have.)

Easy, right?!?

I’ve had a lot of success using this method in my classroom and have received plenty of positive feedback from other teachers who have implemented it too.  I’d love to hear how it works for you if you decide to give it a try!

*One last thing… I didn’t include a watermark or copyright on the image itself (because, really, your students don’t need to read my blog); BUT, if possible, please PIN the images directly from this page & include a link back here if you share it on any social media.  I REALLY appreciate it!

First, I LOVE your website! There are so many things I’m going to start doing 🙂 I have one question though about the missing assignment sheet…have you ever had a student refuse to fill one out?

July 31, 2014 at 3:38 PM

Ummm… Yeah… Hello!!! I love this idea! I totally have to implement this! Thank you!!!

August 1, 2014 at 12:12 PM

Do you use this for class work or just homework?

August 8, 2014 at 11:37 PM

This is great! I use a modified version of this, but have been looking to revamp mine. I have a question about yours: when the student does finally turn in the assignment, how do the get the bottom portion back to fill out? Do you have to go retrieve it for them or do you have a system for that? Thanks!

August 22, 2015 at 1:35 PM

I think it only gets detached once the homework is handed in.

Love the blog!

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your blog/site. I am in my second year of teaching and this has been a great help with revamping and adding to some of the things I already had in place, AS WELL AS bringing new ideas. I really think we all can benefit from other professionals. So keep up the great work! `Alabama Teacher

March 14, 2015 at 2:33 PM

What if the student does not turn in the yellow sheet?? I can see some of the students refusing to fill out the yellow sheet. Have you found this to be a problem? Can any other teachers comment on this?? I have a major issue with missing assignments and am looking for ways to reign it in!!

The problem is not likely to be reliable. You can afford to fix it? Can you afford not to have a car for a couple of days? How are you going to work? The other problem with older cars is that you might have trouble finding parts for that, depending on the coche.Yo say it's a bad idea for a first car. Just buy a decent car, a couple of years to a great couple. When you get older and can afford two vehicles, then do it. Plenty of time for that.

I found your blog last night and I’m in love. Thanks for sharing! Seven years at my prior school and I never had a problem with homework. Last year I began teaching at a new school (after taking off five years) and homework (or any outside assignments) were rarely turned in on time. I’m implementing the log this year and I’m so excited. Thanks!

October 10, 2016 at 2:58 PM

Would you be able to send me an editable version of this resource?

Thank you x a million! This is amazing! This is going to be so perfect in my classroom! I can’t wait to share with my peers!

Thank you!!

October 24, 2018 at 7:57 PM

You have wonderful ideas to implement.

I do have one thought to consider with memes:

The image with the office manager (Gary Cole) from the film, Office Space, is from a movie that I loved.

However, this movie has some adult themes and humor that I don’t think we should be associated with as teachers. It’s one of those movies that we might forget that there is an amped up sexual scene with the office manager (Gary Cole) and the Jennifer Aniston character.

These memes can blur the boundaries between teachers and students, so we need to take great care with what we share with our students as it is connected to us.

October 24, 2018 at 9:42 PM

Karen, that image has transformed into an internet meme. Students recognize it as a meme. They are not associating it with a sex scene (seriously? This is what you think about when you see that picture????)

How To: Help Students to Complete Missing Work: The Late-Work Teacher-Student Conference

  • Self-Management

missing work template free

The reasons that students fall behind in assignments are many. Students who are just developing homework skills , for example, often need more time than peers to complete independent assignments, can find it challenging to focus their attention when working on their own, and may not have efficient study skills (Cooper & Valentine, 2001). To be sure, student procrastination and avoidance in work assignments is a widespread problem. And many students who fall behind in their work also develop a maladaptive, self-reinforcing pattern of escape-maintained behavior: as these students owe ever-increasing amounts of late work, they respond to the anxiety generated by that overhang of overdue assignments by actively avoiding that work. And thus the problem only grows worse (Hawkins & Axelrod, 2008).

When a student begins to slip in the completion and submission of assignments, the teacher can take steps proactively to interrupt this work-avoidant pattern of behavior by meeting with the student to create a plan to catch up with late work. (It is also recommended that the parent attend such a conference, although parent participation is not required.) In this 'late-work' conference, the teacher and student inventory what work is missing, negotiate a plan to complete that overdue work, and perhaps agree on a reasonable penalty for any late work turned in. Teacher, student (and parent, if attending) then sign off on the work plan. The teacher also ensures that the atmosphere at the meeting is supportive, rather than blaming, toward the student. And of course, any work plan hammered out at this meeting should seem attainable to the student.

Below in greater detail are the steps that the teacher and student would follow at a meeting to renegotiate missing work. (NOTE: Teachers can use the Student Late-Work Planning Form: Middle & High School to organize and document these late-work conferences.):

  • Inventory All Missing Work. The teacher reviews with the student all late or missing work. The student is given the opportunity to explain why the work has not yet been submitted.  
  • Negotiate a Plan to Complete Missing Work. The teacher and student create a log with entries for all of the missing assignments. Each entry includes a description of the missing assignment and a due date by which the student pledges to submit that work. This log becomes the student’s work plan. It is important that the submission dates for late assignments be realistic--particularly for students who owe a considerable amount of late work and are also trying to keep caught up with current assignments.  A teacher and student may agree, for example, that the student will have two weeks to complete and submit four late writing assignments. NOTE: Review this form as a tool to organize and document the student’s work plan.  
  • [Optional] Impose a Penalty for Missing Work. The teacher may decide to impose a penalty for the work being submitted late. Examples of possible penalties are a reduction of points (e.g., loss of 10 points per assignment) or the requirement that the student do additional work on the assignment than was required of his or her peers who turned it in on time.  If imposed, such penalties would be spelled out at this teacher-student conference. If penalties are given, they should be balanced and fair, permitting the teacher to impose appropriate consequences while allowing the student to still see a path to completing the missing work and passing the course.  
  • Periodically Check on the Status of the Missing-Work Plan. If the schedule agreed upon by teacher and student to complete and submit all late work exceeds two weeks, the teacher (or other designated school contact, such as a counselor) should meet with the student weekly while the plan is in effect. At these meetings, the teacher checks in with the student to verify that he or she is attaining the plan milestones on time and still expects to meet the submission deadlines agreed upon. If obstacles to emerge, the teacher and student engage in problem-solving to resolve them.

  • Then, when you need to inform any student, you only have to write in assignment names and due dates.
  • If you have to inform the whole class about work due as a whole, then a general master copy would be perfect! (Just write "whole class" in the  student name  section. And make enough printed copies of the assignment/due date list for each student  after  writing one copy).

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • Info page to explain which assignments are due and when.
  • Tracking page for checking off completion (+ teacher contact info).

When Employers Require Excuses

When to send your message.

  • Email Excuse Message Examples
  • Sample Written Letters With Excuses

What to Include in an Excuse Letter

  • Personal Day Off Messages
  • Letters Requesting a Leave of Absence
  • What to Include in Your Letter
  • What Not to Include

When you're required to formally notify your employer in writing when you have either missed work, won't be able to come to work, or would like to take a day off, it's important to write a professional email message or letter with the basic details of why you were or will be absent. Even if you're not required to provide a formal excuse, it's a good idea to send a short email to explain your absence.

Companies may require employees to provide a written letter of excuse or send an email message when they miss time from work for doctor’s appointments or for other reasons. In addition, you may need to request a formal leave of absence in writing. If you're taking a personal day off, you may be required to request that in writing as well.

If you're sending an email to say you won't be in the office today, a brief message should be sufficient to provide your boss with appropriate notice . If you're requesting a leave of absence or other extended time off, however, you will need to provide more detailed information in your request. 

Send your message as soon as you know that you will need time away from work.

The more advance notice you can provide, the easier it will be for the company to arrange to cover your workload and the more amenable they will be to granting your request. 

These sample letters and email messages with excuses for missing work can and should be edited to fit your own personal circumstances—you shouldn’t simply copy-and-paste them.

Also see below for tips on what—and what not—to include in your request for a leave of absence letter.

  • Sick Day Email Message

Sample Written Letters With Excuses for Missing Work

  • Absence Excuse Letter
  • Apology for Missing Work Letter
  • Doctor Appointment Letter
  • Formal Excuse Letter
  • Sickness Excuse Letter

When you're providing an excuse for missing work, there's no need to provide too much information. Keep your message as simple as possible, but include basic information regarding why you weren't at work, and when you will return.

Sample Email Excuse

Subject: Absence From Work - Your Name

Dear Mr./Mrs. Lastname,

I’m writing to inform you that I was absent from work on June 11, 2021, due to illness. I was unable to report to work that day because I had to go to the urgent care clinic. I was treated and told to go home and rest for the remainder of the day.

Please let me know if you need more information, and thank you for understanding.

What to Include in a Personal Day Off Letter

When you're requesting a personal day off from work, you don't need to provide a reason. Simply request the time off, giving as much notice as possible.

Whenever possible, try to schedule days off when you know the office will be covered and there aren't urgent deadlines to meet.

Personal Day Email Request

Subject: Personal Day - Your Name

I'd like to take a personal day off from work on Monday, July 22.

Please let me know if that's convenient, and I appreciate your consideration. Thank you!

Sample Letters Requesting a Leave of Absence from Work

  • Formal Leave of Absence Letter
  • Leave of Absence Letter
  • Sample Absence Letter - Military Leave

What to Include in a Request for a Leave of Absence Letter

If you find that you need a leave of absence, your employer will expect you to explain why this is so necessary for you. Your absence will both inconvenience them and perhaps cost them time or money if they need to find a temporary replacement for you. Your letter should thus include an adequate reason for your request, supported by the following logistical details: 

  • The date(s) you won't be available to work.
  • The date you will return to work, if you know it.
  • An offer to help while you're out of the office, if that's feasible.
  • An offer to complete all outstanding projects/client work before your leave begins, if time allows.
  • An offer to provide documentation if you are requesting a medical or military leave of absence.
  • The email and/or phone number where your employer can contact you if they have a question.
  • Any other additional information required by your employer, if they have a formal policy to request sick time or leave from your job.

What Not to Include in an Excuse or Leave Request Letter

Think carefully about how much personal information you want to share with your employer regarding your excuse or request for a leave of absence.

You don’t want your employer to think that you are prevaricating or that your absence may be paving the way for a permanent departure.

The Bottom Line

  • Don't include too much information. You don't need to provide all of the details of a medical problem or a personal crisis. Keep your letter short and simple.
  • Don't make something up or include any information that can't be verified. Stick to the facts because your employer may ask for a note from your doctor to substantiate your request.
  • Do keep it simple. Provide the information your employer requires, but keep your email or letter short and simple.

Organizing Absent Work

Remembering to put out and collect absent student work can certainly be an extra thing teachers don’t always remember to do when they have 1,345 other items to worry about in any given school day.

So this is one of the classroom systems that is better when it has been thought about already and there’s a plan in place for managing the missed work and getting assignments back in a timely manner.

Remembering to put out and collect absent student work can certainly be an extra thing teachers don't always remember to do when they have 1,345 other items to worry about in any given school day.

More Strategies for Managing Assignments from Absent Students

And today, we have a BONUS!  Earlier in the morning, I noticed another topic that took off on it’s own on our Facebook Page .

From a fellow fan Tina: “ Help! I have been teaching 11 years and still have not found a fool proof way to get work out to students who have been absent and DOCUMENT that they have received it so that they don’t come back later and say they never got it… AND get it back in a timely manner… Any suggestions? “

Well, in true OC Blog style, the fans came through once again and gave Tina all sorts of suggestions!

In particular, I like to use a folder to place the absent work in as I am passing out papers throughout the day so I don’t forget.  I have even been known to just place the Absent Folder on the missing child’s desk and have someone sitting nearby place the papers in the folder as they are being handed out.  At the end of the Bonus e-book, I created a simple template if you wish to do the same.

Grab yours below!
