"I am not a very organized student but my ClassTracker planner really helps. Without it I would be in deep trouble. I love having all my assignments listed in one place so there is no confusion on what’s due. When I actually use the planner I am much more successful in completing my homework. I like that there’s room to not only write what’s due but also for upcoming events."

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.

"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."

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.

"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!"

Director of Student Leadership & Activities, Notre Dame High 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.”

"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

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

"If I don't things in my planner, I forget them.  Once I didn't write down an assignment, and when I got home, I looked in my planner and thought I had no homework, so I didn't do it. I bring my planner everywhere. We have so much going on in 8th grade, with the high school stuff, volunteer commitments...I have to have a place to write it all down."

8th grader, Katherine Delmar Burke School

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.
