One day, there is no need for payback.
How should cover teachers prepare the classroom for the quiz ?
The chairs, tables, and bags must be properly arranged before the invigilator enters the classroom. Allocate 15-20 min before the quiz to do that.
Give the attendance sheet directly to the person who is going to invigilate. If it is a digital version only, share it with the coordinator who is going to invigilate the quiz.

As soon as you receive a response from Darya regarding who will cover your class, send an email to the assigned cover teacher and CC to Darya.
If the teacher is too sick, the cover teacher should utilize the Materials Bank and request materials from the level teachers. Using the book only in this situation is also acceptable.
