Using Student Agendas

At the beginning of each school year, students are provided an agenda that can be used to help them stay organized. Proper use of the agenda on a daily basis is an excellent habit in helping to develop organization skills with students. Many teachers at CRMS remind students on a regular basis to post their assignments and upcoming tests/quizzes in their planners To further encourage regular use of the agendas, restroom and hall pass privileges are granted to students through presentation of their agendas. Agendas can also be helpful for students in managing their time as practices, games, work schedules, social activities, appointments and other events can be entered. Doing so often results in students recognizing they must use and plan their time after school very wisely. Regular use of an agenda isn’t hard, but it is a skill that needs to be developed and practiced. Parents are wise to encourage their children to use their agendas as it will help them in becoming more organized, and result in better school performance!
