Communication Notebook and Folder

School started for me this evening but this time I was back in the role of student. I am taking University of Akron classes at Green High School for my Masters Degree in Mild/Moderate Intervention. The night was filled with going over two different course syllabi and discussions about the best way to contact each professor. With school just around the corner for your student, I thought now might be a good time to go over the communication procedure for our class.

One the first day of school, your child will come home with a communication notebook and folder. If you have a quick note, just write it in the notebook and I will respond back the same day. Similarly, if you are picking your child up from school, make sure to put a note in the notebook so that I will know not to put your child on the bus. Also, if you have any loose leaf notes or paperwork that needs to be returned to school, place it inside the folder. Anything that you want me to see needs to be in the folder or the notebook. If it is not in the notebook or folder I can not promise you that I will see it.  

I will use the notebook to respond to your notes and also to write notes of my own about your child’s behavior (mostly good, I’m sure ;) ), so it is important to check it each night. If you are here reading this, you know I will be using the blog frequently to inform you about the happenings of our class. But, if you need to talk to me or have concerns that require more than a quick note in the notebook, please email me or call me at school. I will do my best to respond within 24 hours.
