Parents And Students Study, Prepare, Organize, and Reflect Together

A PASSPORT is a 3-ring binder notebook that holds everything the students and parents need to keep updated on classroom and school events!

* No more lost notes, lost homework, lost important school notes or missing lunch/book club money!

* No more looking all over the house to find paper to write the teacher a note!

WHY IS A PASSPORT GOOD TO HAVE?

This notebook helps students to establish good organizational skills as well as teach them responsibility. The children really enjoy using the PASSPORT. It is a wonderful way to keep communication open between the teacher and parents.
