The notebook paper will serve as our parent/teacher communication log.  This will be for notes between you and me.  Please stress to your children that this is ONLY for the teacher and parents to write in.  Check this section daily and I will try to do the same.  Please ask your child to let me know when there is a note from you in the log. I ask that you leave any notes that we may write in the notebook so that we can look back and remember any communications we may have had. I will initial all notes I read from you and ask that you do the same. That way, we know our notes have been read, even when no response is necessary.
