Agenda Checks

Daily communication about your child's classes happens through their agenda. It answers the questions like: "What did you do in school today?" and "Did you have any homework tonight?" You can help your child by checking their agenda nightly; ask them about their day based on what you see there. If they do not have anything written down, ask them why. The agendas are posted each day in our classrooms and we expect our students to fill them out every day.

We are taking a Work Habits grade on the agendas at least once a week in our 5th period classes. Each day is worth 2 pts. One point is earned for having all their subjects filled out. A second point for your initials at the bottom indicating that you have seen it. We are doing this during 5th period so that our students have had a chance to attend all their teachers. We understand that with the new 8:10 start time it is harder for the students to get the agenda filled out before classes in the morning and eat their breakfast so we have tried to make this accommodation. If you work odd hours, work out a plan with your child so that you can still see and initial the agenda each night. You might try the kitchen counter as a good spot to leave it each night and pick it up each morning. If you have not yet been able to get an agenda for your child I know that the school has ordered more. I am not sure when they will arrive but in the meantime have your child use a spiral notebook so they still have that record. Loose leaf paper tends to get lost before the end of the week. If you need help with the purchase of the agenda let us know and we will do what we can to help. We appreciate all that you do at home to help you child be successful!
