The student agenda/planner book is our "go to" tool for school to home communication. As such, we are implementing a new practice. If a student does not have an assignment when it is due they must fill out a gold slip. One copy comes to us, and one copy goes home for parent signature. We ask that parents sign the gold slip and return to class, indicating an awareness of the missing work. Now we will also stamped the agenda book"Missing assignment. Sign gold slip." This should help you to follow up with your student and get more of those papers turned in. Remember, unexcused late work is assessed a 1/2 grade penalty for each date past the due date.
When graded work is returned, this stamp is placed on the planner.
