Homework status report form

This week I started using the "homework status report" form.  I explained the form at the beginning of school but had not had to use it.  I explained the form and when it was to be used.  I keep the forms clipped to the side of the inbox.  An assignment was due and I had 3students who didn't turn it in. I gave them each a "HSR" form and asked them to fill it out. Immediately they wanted to justify the missing assignment.  As they were filling out the form, begrudgingly,  I made a general announcement about the forms rationale.  When they came to put the forms in the inbox, I gave them each a private moment to chat with me.

    Thanks for commenting on my post. HawthoRNe is a great series starring Jada Pinkett Smith and Michale Vartan, all three years of the series is available on Netflix

    That is a great idea. I had forgotten about the homework form. I needed to use it the first week of school. I assigned homework where they were supposed to go onto the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology website. Once they were there, they were asked to research the state board rules and regulations. The students were asked to write down eight things that they learned from their research. I had a few do it but not everyone. None of my advanced class turned in the research homework. I think I will go back and repeat that assignment. Some will say they did it but if they did I could give them extra credit. If it is not done that will be the perfect opportunity to utilize the homework form.

    Thanks for that reminder on the homework forms. I had 4 students last week who did not turn in their homework which was a major part of the class assignment. I just had them to write down the reason for them not having their assignment on a piece of paper. Now I will locate the Homework Forms and start using them.

    I agree with Docwalk! We learned about so many things this summer, that I had forgotten about the homework form! I'm going to retrieve it and use it too. Thanks for the reminder DAB!

    With progress reports coming out next week for us, I wanted to ask what all did you include on the report?
