**Parents: Please initial/sign your child’s Oak Agenda every evening. This is a great communications tool; you can write notes to me in the agenda because I will look at it everyday. You will know that I have seen the agenda because I will stamp it daily (if the parent’s initial/signature is in the agenda). I might also write a note to you and this is an easy way to ensure that you will see the note. Thank you for keeping this great communications tool working for all of us.
