Checklists Cure the ‘I Forgot!’ Syndrome

Students can’t complete and turn in assignments on time if they have forgotten to bring home what they need, if they don't understand what is being asked, or if they aren't sure when the work is due.

To prevent these issues, teach your teen to complete a checklist before the end of the school day. Your student can keep it in a phone, or tape it to the inside cover of the notebook for the last class of the day. The checklist should include items that address some of these questions:

1. Do I understand all assignments and due dates?
2. Do I have all necessary books, notebooks, materials and supplies?
3. Have I talked to or seen any necessary people?
4. Have I reviewed my to-do list?
