How do you recover overdue/lost books?

Penelope Oliver-Sharp

Pathetic memes * a countdown of books vs days on school Facebook for the last 20 or so days of school * class and stage prizes * weekly mini-owls placed in a letterbox for books returned (goes into a whole school draw for a canteen voucher) * Classdojo messages * weekly Classdojo reminder sent at 6pm the night before (the time can be set in Classdojo) **.However, sending a picture of the front cover of the book to the parent gets the best results. ** An issue with Oliver's overdue notices is that it doesn't tell what series a book belongs to and this causes many problems.
