Kids, especially middle school kids, loose stuff. Help them and their families by sharing assignments digitally. My favorite ways to do this are by using a public Google Calendar that you share on your blog or Website for your classroom or to use Google Classroom. But I understand these don't work for everyone. For sharing why don't you try simply linking important items in your designated grade-book, in our district it's PowerTeacher.
If an assignment is worthy enough to be graded it should be worthy enough to share with families...so, just add a link.
Here are three quick videos to help you digitize paper documents and share them in PowerTeacher so families can help their students.
