I share with the parents in the beginning of the school year that I will be using a homework assignment sheet every week. I preprint the homework assignments on the front, where parents need to check and sign each night. I initial it if the student didn't complete and/or turn in the assignment(s) the next day. On the other side I have reminders typed such as tests or special events for the week. Also, I have a spot for me to write quick notes and another spot for parents to write quick notes. I collect this every week and keep it on file.
When I send individual notes my students tend to lose it and I'm constantly asking for the note. But with this assignment sheet, all the parents know about it the beginning of the year and so the students are less likely to lose it because both the parents and I ask for it every day.
