Hi,

I just had my 6th graders 504, also. At his school, they have the
"pink slip." They go into the office each morning, and pick up this
paper. Then they give it to each of his teachers during the day. It
is a checkmark type form. There are 3 boxes for each class that the
teacher can mark "yes" or "no." One is if they came to class with
supplies, and homework to turn in, etc. One is if they completed in
class-work satisfactorily. And the third is if they displayed
appropriate behavior,, and cooperated with staff and studnts
(participation in class, followed directions, kept hands and feet to
self, etc.) Then there is a box for each teacher to write the
homework for the night.

Then I sign it, and he returns it to school each morning.

It has helped us know what the homework is, and what the behavior was
in a nutshell.

It is in the 504 for them to do this.
