Many of our students have been doing such a wonderful job keeping track of their money, making good choices throughout the week, and then getting their weekly ledgers signed by a parent. HOWEVER, we still have quite a few students each week who do not bring back their ledger signed. In hopes to encourage them to remember, I began giving debits each day they did not have it signed. Unfortunately, that has not worked as well as I had hoped it would. With fifth grade becoming very close, it is imperative that I start really promoting responsibility and hold students accountable for their actions (or lack of). With this, comes our new expectations, effective April 2nd, for the rest of the school year.
From now on, students are not going to transfer their weekly earnings on Friday. Instead, students will not be able to transfer their money until Monday morning ONCE THEIR CHECK LEGDER HAS BEEN SIGNED. If the students do not bring it back signed, they will not receive their money from the previous week. Monday will be the only day to bring in the signed ledger for their earnings-if they bring it in on Tuesday, they will not be receiving their money. Of course, there will be exceptions for absent students-they must bring it in signed the day after they return.
Another note: Many parents have been sending notes or emails saying their student forgot to either bring home the ledger, or forgot it at home. In the past I have accepted this as a signature, but moving forward, I will not. The students know that bringing it home and remembering to bring it back to school are apart of their responsibilities as well!
I appreciate you all for supporting your students in becoming responsible little leaders! Please email with any questions or concerns. =)
