Plan for Tuesday, 10/22/24, considering the limited availability of teachers. This plan incorporates a balance of educational activities, physical exercise, and creative projects to keep students engaged throughout the day.
Tomorrow morning, we will finalize student placements based on the attendance numbers. Once we have an accurate count of students attending, we will determine the coverage for each class. This will allow us to ensure that every class is adequately staffed, maintaining an effective learning environment for all students. Our goal is to seamlessly adjust to the needs of the day, providing both students and teachers with the support they require.
