Optimum Organization - Tracking Late/Missing Assignments

This week I'm going to share how my team keeps track of students' late/missing assignments and making sure that we follow through with the consequences.

First of all, here is a review of our assignment policy. It applies to work done in class as well as any assignments that we send home. It resets at the quarter, and students who didn't go beyond the Oops get to be in our {No Late Work Club} party.

1st Late Assignment - Oops
2nd Late Assignment - 15 minutes after school
3rd Late Assignment - 30-minute lunch detention
4th Late Assignment - 45-minute after school detention
5th+ Late Assignment - 45-minute after school detention and ASP 3x/week

Our kids rotate between at least three teachers. We wanted kids to know that we were communicating with each other. I created a Google spreadsheet with all of the students and consequences listed. I shared the spreadsheet with the other teachers so we all had access. When a student had a late or missing assignment, that teacher entered the assignment information under the appropriate consequence. We also have the locker listed because we put locker signs on the lockers of the students who qualified for the party. We also incorporated behavior into the last party of the year, so that's why you see the behavior column. It has worked pretty well this year and plan to continue it next year!

And isn't it funny that something so simple turns out to be a huge hit?! My post on the {name stick holder} from last week currently has 2300 views! The power of Pinterest :)
