There are a number of every day school issues that can be solved with a completely customised student planner. Here we look at some of them.

1. Planner Solutions
What can be achieved with complete customisation?

2. Planner Solutions
Customised planners can provide solutions to a lot of
everyday problems. Here are just a few:
● Communicating with parents / carers.
● Getting parents / carers on-side.
● Making sure students are aware of key dates.
● Ensuring everyone has access to important school info.
● Making sure students are aware of homework tasks

3. Home - School Communication
It can be difficult to find a simple, non intrusive, method of
communicating with parents / carers. Completely customised
student planners can provide a solution.
● Feature comment boxes for parents / teachers to relay
messages to each other
● Include boxes that parents must sign to confirm they are
aware of homework being set.
● Ease the workload of office staff by incorporating some
home-school communications into your student planners.

4. Home-School Contracts
Ensure that parents / carers are aware of what is expected of their
children by featuring a home-school agreement contract in the student
planner.
This sets out rules and expectations at the beginning of term and can
be referred to when issues arise.

5. Key Term Dates
Important term dates can be published in your student
planners. This can help students and parents remember
when the next parents evening, sports day, or class trip
takes place.

6. Important School Info
Rather than having to phone the school, or search through the website
for important school information and policies, they can be included at
the beginning of your planners, for easy reference. You can include
anything you want, but here are some of the things our customers like
featured in their planners:
● Uniform Policy
● Key contact details
● Absence Procedures
● Social Media Policy
● School Code of Conduct

7. Homework Setting
One of the primary uses of a student planner, is homework
recording.
A well structured homework diary, customised to suit your
school and students, can help ensure that your students
know exactly what is expected of them in their own time.
