​2. One question that has come up about planners is what happens if a student forgets their planner at home.  If you leave your planner at home, during your first block class you will, of course, incur the consequence for not being prepared (5th grade = loss of ticket, 6th grade = check mark, 7th and 8th grades = Q).  It is then your responsibility to pick up a student planner sheet in your first block class and use it throughout the day       to record your assignments in all your core classes.  Any student not taking care of this responsibility will lose additional tickets or receive additional check marks or Qs in their other core classes that day.
