Acronyms. Emily seems to respond quite well to them and said as much while doing a recent math assignment on order of operations. She said, "PEMDAS...Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally" but really it means, "Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction, just so you know, Mom."
So...I need to think of a good acronym or two for things such as, "Don't forget your homework" and "Remember to bring everything home that you need" and "English class starts at 8:03 not 8:10."
I am being a little silly here, but really? I think this type of thing might work. I bet this is something I could find on line...like an acronym creator or something.
I am having a hard time coming up with other ideas. I already have the typical ones in place...a set time and place for homework, reminders before she leaves to turn her homework in that she has done at home, chatting with her about her day, and being involved with the school (as much as possible in middle school at least). Does anyone else have any thoughts?

What I did with my girl when she was in public school was post a paper on her locker door. It reminded her to take homework/books to class and check backpack for: notes from teacher, homework (when we still did that), books needed at home.
This helped her a lot!
