DAILY PLANNER FRIDAY FOLDER
Should come home each night.  On each page, there is an area for parent/teacher communication. Comes home each Friday.  There is a parent/ teacher communication sheet in each folder.
 

Planners are filled out by 8:30 each morning, and then are given a smiley stamp of approval by the day's helpers.  After last recess, before starting the last class of the day, students go over their planners.  They check off what is done and circle what they have left.  Then, they gather the materials they need to take home with them to complete any undone assignments.  Please check your child's planner each night and sign it to be returned the next day.  Thank you for all your support in helping your child to grow toward becoming more organized and accountable.

KEYS TO SUCCESS;

A great strategy that will help your child be successful is for him to put his planner, books, papers, and any materials he needs to bring for the next day directly into his book bag upon completion of his homework.  This helps to avoid that 'mad dash' as you go out the door in the morning, and helps to ensure that your child has everything necessary for that day's classes. 

Let your student know how important it is that he fill out his planner completely and correctly. Encourage him to refer to it often as a tool to help him make sure that all work is completed and that he has all the materials he needs to be successful.

 

 

Friday Folders come home each Friday and need to be signed and returned by Tuesday morning.  During the week, each student keeps all returned papers and tests in his own private mailbox. If possible, all important notes or awards are kept there, as well.  On Fridays, these papers are placed in the Friday Folders to be taken home. Together with your child, please go over the week's work and fill out the Parent-Teacher Communication form.  Please place any signed tests or forms that need to be returned in the folder.  It is the responsibility of your student to see to it that the folder and papers are signed and returned to school.  Thank you for all your assistance in helping your child to accept responsibility for his learning.

If you would prefer that your student brings home his papers each day, please just let me know.  That is not a problem at all.  It has just been my experience that for the majority of the students, Friday Folders work very well to help ensure that important papers do make it home, and that the lines of communication stay strong between home and school.
