I have noticed that many of my students are not putting the papers in their folders. I have also had parents call or email about not seeing their child's take home papers. I inform them that they went home in their child's folder. I'm not sure if the students are taking them out before they get home because of some of the grades or for other reasons. How do I make sure that graded papers are getting home and seen by parents? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) When I was in elementary school, we had 'take home folders.' Every Friday, they would send us home with a folder that contained all of our completed work for the week. There was a list stapled on the inside listing what should be there. If not everything was checked off, then the parents knew that something was wrong. If the student came back on Monday without a folder, then the teacher knew that they didn't show their parents the folder for some reason.
