Below are some guidelines that can help parents reinforce these skills:  

·         Each notebook will have an agenda in the front. This agenda contains our student handbook, a page used for hall passes, and pages for homework assignments.

·         Divider tabs are used for each subject area, related arts and Westview information.

·         All student assignments should be labeled in the top, right-hand corner in the following manner:

                                                                                                            Name

                                                                                                            Date

                                                                                                            Assignment

• Students must take the TOPS notebook to each class.
• The agenda should have something written beside each class every day. If there is no homework students are instructed to write something they learned that day.
