| Yes, it is a bit annoying having to ask your students for information that you should receive from your school. |

The question is, what is the proper etiquette? "Happy tomb-sweeping day!"? "Have a great remembering the dead day!"? "Here's wishing you many more dead to remember!"? "Merry stiffmas!"?
Where's Miss Manners? Oh! She's dead too. I'll just sweep this one under the rug. |

I'm off. Sweet - five day weekend, as opposed to my usual four day weekend.
Really need to use the time more constructively.. |

I only get Monday  I've learned not to rely on the school for any information. I have a closer relationship to the students and they tell me anything I need to know. I haven't had a "going to class when no ones there because no one told me anything" moment yet. |

Give it time... I well remember those "not going to a class that nobody told me about" moments, as well as one "going to a class that two FTs had been timetabled to teach different subjects at the same time" moment.
These days I just have senior moments. |
