Hi Koby!
Welcome to the list.
What I'd do is try to talk to my vision teachers.
If not, talk to your teachers and see if they can email you the papers directly.
I've been doing this since 8th grade, and it works for all subjects except math.

If not, talk to your parents and tell them to talk to the school.

You have a right to get your materials on time, and you have to fight for it.

I suggest you check the other 2 options first though, and see if you can bypass your vision teacher first.

(I do direct contact with all my teachers except math, because I need to have it in Braille so I can read the number systems properly)

Jorge


P.S., DId I see you at the NFB conference 2 days ago?
