When Homework is Not Completed

When a student does not complete his or her homework, I have them fill in a paper I've already made multiple copies of and are kept in a folder for each student. The slip of paper is divided into 3 sections: "Date", "Name of Assignment", and "Reason Why It's Not Done". After 5 repeated incomplete homework assignments, I staple these slips together and send home for a parent signature. This usually helps things get back on track again.
