Each of our Nichols' scholars received a planner to use this school year. Recently, I shared this resource of ways that educators can support their students' planner usage. Please look at this document to see ways that you as parents can support your child as they develop executive functioning skills to maximize their academic success.
One of the suggestions is: Support struggling students by having their parents or another adult view the planner. Having parents or another adult sign the student’s planner is a great way to create home accountability for assignments. The planner can be a great tool for communicating with parents to make sure that they are aware of assignments and upcoming deadlines.
Check your child's planner to ensure that they are writing their assignments. Check for upcoming assignments and/or assessments. This is another level of accountability to help your child as they are learning to manage having multiple teachers and classes. Please email your child's teachers or Mrs. Nelson, the 6th grade counselor, if you have any questions or need clarifications.
Please have your child put the upcoming events below in their planners!
