I heartily endorse the amount of flexibility and support ClassTracker has given us; how much our kids want and use the paper planner (even in the digital age); ClassTracker’s ideas about improving the planner based on feedback from users; the price, even when ordering extras; how ClassTracker incorporates student artwork to make the planners unique to Redwood High School.

Assistant Principal, Redwood High School

"Lesley customized the planner based on Notre Dame's needs.  The students LOVE it! The layout makes it easy for students to keep track of their assignments and the students love that it includes special schedules, an easily accessible master schedule, and student artwork.  I have worked on preparing the student planner for many years and my experience with Lesley was superb and personal!  This year's planner is truly a work of art!"

For a number of reasons, we believe that it's important for middle schoolers to have a central place in which to write themselves reminders. While we post assignments online for reference at home, and for students who are absent, the pause at the end of a class period for students to write in their planners is an important moment for clarification and for integration of learning, as well as an opportunity for teachers to become aware of students who may not be registering instructions.  Middle schoolers also have busy lives with more than homework to keep track of; the planner is a place to write down those reminders, and research points to the value of tactile engagement in the writing process as an aid to memory.

ClassTracker planners continue to be an essential component of teaching organizational skills to Hamlin middle school students. Even though we have a 1:1 iPad program in Grades 6-8 and we were tempted by the myriad electronic planner/organizer apps out there, we have found that using a paper system supports our students independently managing their work. By physically writing down assignments for oneself, a student makes a stronger connection to what is being asked of her; often the practice of writing alone triggers a student to ask clarifying questions about the assignment.

Our ClassTracker planners have been a godsend for our students, parents, and faculty.  I’ve gotten more positive feedback about the planners than probably anything else I’ve done at the school!  Our schedule can be complicated, and the planners have helped our students better plan and organize their classes, assignments, to-do lists, and more.

Dean of Students, Priory School

"It's wonderful that ClassTracker is an assignment book that students actually use. They know what and when things are due. Students are more organized and responsible as a result."

Mathematics Teacher, Tamalpais High School

The biggest benefit of our ClassTracker planner is that it is a tool for classroom preparation, student organizational skills, and communication with families. From the cover art created by one of our students to the schedule and important dates embedded throughout the planner pages, it is unmistakably a Davidson Middle School planner. Students are using their ClassTracker planners more than others from the past leading to greater success in school.

Assistant Principal, Davidson Middle School

“This planner has definitely been the best I’ve had. I like the medium size because it is convenient but spacious enough to fit all the information I need. Also, the layout of the pages is perfectly customized for a college student. The activities area is extremely useful because between playing ultimate, rushing a frat, playing intramurals, and the other clubs I’ve joined, it’s helped me stay on top of things and remember all of my meetings and practices. I think the simplicity of the planner is what makes it so attractive.”

"In 15 years of teaching, I've never seen kids use a planner as effectively as they do their ClassTrackers. Since adopting ClassTrackers, I have noticed that students are on top of their assignments and turn in more homework."

Social Studies Teacher, Tamalpais High School

"I am a sophomore and a very good student, and I love to be organized. This year’s planner is amazing! I like it because it shows what I have to do for every single class, and it is very neat and visually pleasing. I use the planner every single day, and I honestly couldn't live without it. Thank you so much for designing such a fantastic planner!!!"
