Organization and keeping track of assignments is key to success in middle school. We recommend that students use an assignment notebook, however we realize that some students do not like using a pen and paper version. Students are welcome to use the following resources to help them keep track of assignments:
Google Tasks - "How To" video. - An app within Google with several different options to access it, making it flexible and functional for students.
Google Keep - "How To" video. - An app within Google that allows students to create notes for each class. The "notes" that are created can be shared with parents via email.
Digital Assignment Notebook (Google slides) - A tool that utilizes personalizing Google Slides for organizing schoolwork. These slides can be shared with parents via email. Students will need to "make a copy" of the document before they can personalize and use it.
Digital Assignment Notebook (Google docs) - A tool that uses Google Docs as a way to organize and track schoolwork. This document can be shared with parents via email. Students will need to "make a copy" of the document before they can personalize and use it.
