Early Light Academy has felt strongly enough about student planner usage that they have purchased planners for students K-9, since 2009. I have seen firsthand the success that comes for older students who are used to using planners and utilize them to keep track of upcoming assignments. Can you imagine what it would be like for a student to suddenly try to learn how to plan once he or she is snowed under with all of the homework that is required in high school or college? It is my expectation that students have their planners at school each day. Many of you are used to checking planners and signing them daily. Please keep that up. We will be checking planners weekly, and I will be looking for the daily information that your student should be writing, as well as a parent signature, which tells me that you’re keeping abreast of your student’s homework and any information that will be shared daily.
