STUDENT PLANNERS

3rd – 8th grade students are required to use the school-issued student planner and the Take Home Folder.

• The following tips will greatly help with organization:

• The student’s name should be on the cover of the student planner.

• Write the day and date at the top of each page.

• Keep the assignment book with the student in each class.

• Write down assignments as soon as the teacher writes and/or posts the assignments on the board or via teacher or school website. Assignments should be copied exactly as written/posted.

• All books needed to complete homework are to be brought home by the student.

• Reminders or notes regarding items to bring from home to school should be written at the bottom of the assignment page.

• Students should remember to double-check the assignment book with the assignment list posted by the teacher.
