IN SEARCH OF THE BEST PLANNER ON THE MARKET
If your child hasn’t been using their school planner effectively this year, the fresh-start of the new year makes this a perfect time to reboot. There are planners out there that suit everyone’s needs, both in paper and online. The key is to empower your student to identify a model that works for them. There are planners marketed toward students with ADHD and executive function challenges that are worth exploring, but it’s so personal that it’s difficult to recommend just one. If your child is more tech-inclined, a quick Google search reveals a number of strong options. Here’s a good place to start. If your child does better with paper, there are hundreds of free templates online, or you can plan a quick trip to Staples with your child to browse through their large selection. In the end, the best planner on the market is the one with the design that makes the most sense to your student. Discuss, explore, and empower them to choose the one they are excited, or at least willing, to try.
Helpful Information/Tips for Parents
- Excuses for missed days should be emailed to the school secretary within three days of the absence by the parent or guardian.
- A maximum of two (2) days for illness/injury per nine weeks can be recognized as excused when a note has been signed by a parent/guardian. A student absent in excess of two (2) days per nine weeks must provide school officials with a written explanation from a health provider. These medical notes must be submitted within three (3) days following the student’s return to school.
- Any technical issues with scholars logging into class which may cause a day of missed instruction should be emailed to the teacher and school secretary by the parent or guardian.
- When students miss instruction due to internet connectivity, they must complete and submit the assignment in the instructional packet by Monday of the following week to remove the absent mark. Instructional packets are posted in Canvas weekly and available on the district website. A printed copy can be requested by calling the school office.
- Teacher meeting IDS, passwords, and links are the same (no changes). Call the front office or email the school secretary if you need the information again.
- Students should log in or attend all required classes daily for the entire period.
Student District Email
The students' district email accounts are Google (Gmail) accounts. Parents you are encouraged to add your child's account to your personal device to keep up with all information between the student and school.
