I mentioned we tried SOAR system over the weekend. Best thing ever for the past three years in keeping him organized! As simple as it sounds, putting everything in one binder, it worked the magic. NO single assignments missed this week, which is hard to believe. DS is very proud of this.
I would suggest to give it a try, no need to buy the book, which is nice but pricy. All you need is a 1-1.5 inch binder with plastic pockets for each of the classes. Make sure no loose paper in the book bag, everything going into the binder. DS told me he used to spend long time searching in every binder looking for the math paper while the teacher has already gone to a different topic. He had to give up which resulted in a missing homework. With Soar binder, his work for every class is right there and he does not need to spend any time looking!
I just regret that we didn't think of this earlier.
