With the beginning of a brand new year, comes new procedures and routines for our students. One of the new procedures we wanted to make you aware of is with our planners. As a department, we want our students to be more aware of the ways they can be successful, both in school and in life. One way to do that is by giving students the tools they need to be organized. Each year our students get beautiful new planners. We feel that not only are these planners a useful tool of communication between parents and teachers but are also an important way for students to organize their school activities and assignments.
To better utilize our planners and use them more effectively, the intermediate department would like to make the following changes:
- Students will be adding items into planners on an almost daily basis (with some rare exceptions for those times when there are no items to share).
- Planners should be checked daily and signed by parents. Teachers will also check planners daily.
We hope that these changes will help relieve any confusion as to how planners are being used as well as help our students be more successful in building important organizational skills.
Blessings
The Intermediate Department
