Daily Take Home Notes - Special Education & Early Childhood Classrooms

These daily take-home notes are designed to improve communication between home and school, for families and teachers of special education or early childhood students!

Communication between school and home is SO important, especially for families of young children, or students with significant disabilities, who are unable to verbally share about their day when they get home. These daily take home notes will allow parents to engage in conversation with their child after school and reference specific details of their day. These notes allow teachers to connect with parents, starting with something positive that happened during the day, reviewing support services received, the student’s behavior (if applicable), activities the student participated in, requests for supplies or items, and reports health & hygiene information, such as how much was eaten and/or toileting attempts that occurred that day.

One important feature of these take home notes, is the students’ ability to participate in filling out the form. After teachers write in required information, the pages are designed to have students mark the picture symbols with a BINGO dauber to indicate which activities they participated in that day and/or which personnel they were able to work with. Whether students are able to do so independently, with verbal and visual guidance, or hand-over-hand physical prompting, it is important that all students are given the opportunity to take ownership of their education and participate in reporting their at-school-experiences with their families.

***Unfortunately, at this time, this is NOT a digitally editable resource***

Due to the Terms of Use of my commercial license of the symbols / images featured within this product, I am not currently able to offer a digitally editable option for selecting the desired symbols and inserting them into one of the blank templates. If I were to make that option available, there would be no keeping purchasers from lifting and removing the desired images / symbols and using them on other materials and for other purposes, which is strictly prohibited.

If you are interested in purchasing a prepared custom Daily Take-Home Sheet, please e-mail me at thesilent1percent@outlook.com before purchasing this product. A form can be filled out regarding the template and picture icons of choice, and a pdf can be prepared for an additional charge, if you’d prefer to not manually print, cut, glue, and photo copy the picture symbols of your choice.
