KEEPING PARENTS INFORMED

On the left is an ABSENTEE FORM that allows a teacher to list all the missed work for the day. Then attach all the worksheets in order to the form.  This makes it easy for the parents to help their young students with their missed work.  I ask that the form come back with all the worksheets attached, so I can verify that everything was completed.  I also encouraged missed work to be done in a day or two (unless very ill), so students would be ready for the following lessons they would receive when they returned.  On the right is the WEEKLY GRADE/BEHAVIOR sheet that is attached to all graded work sent home at the end of each week  When report time comes around, you just tally all behaviors for every student.  This shows you a clear picture of what each child has done in your classroom for a grading period.  So if one student talked incessantly and most of the other students rarely did, then that one student needed a behavior mark that lets the parents/student know what needs to improve.
