Thank you all for your suggestions!   I guess I’m trying to eliminate the craziness but it sounds like we all suffer that !   Thanks again.

I supply pencils and paper if anyone needs to make a wish list. Friday is strictly make ups - the morning at the elementary school and lunch periods/afternoon at the middle school. Students are only allowed on Friday if they have money in hand. If there is a lull early in the week I'll grab a student or two just to make Friday a little better. It's crazy but gets everyone in.
