This is six page class handbook that I give each year to each of my student's parents. It tells them briefly about myself then moves through all of the relelvant information I want them to know on day one.
The following items are included in this handbook:
Classroom Discipline Plan (including rules, consequences, rewards)
Homework Policy
Newsletter information
Friday Folders (imp.papers)
Absences
School Times
Snack
Lunch times and prices
Other items such as show and tell, supply lists, planning period, labeling, birthdays, toys,Phone numbers, etc.
There is a place for parents to cut off and sign at the bottom along with a place for relevant information about how their child is disciplined at home and any special needs.

I refer back to this document time after time all year long with parents who forgot they signd this important information. It works well to calm down parents who want to be combative when dealing with particular student issues.
