How to use it
Send the family letters a week before you launch. Teach the 45-minute lesson on Day 1, practice the routine with the scenario cards on Day 2, then use the posters, parking labels and reminder ladder every day. Works in any subject, in advisory or homeroom, and for school-wide or state-required phone rules. Every template can be adjusted to match your school's official policy.
