Write a disciplinary note (Beginner level)

As an educator there will be times that you may be involved in disciplinary matters. A disciplinary note can be used to keep parents informed and can also be kept for your own records. Having a digital copy of this note means that you can complete and print one whenever you need it. Microsoft Word can be used to create a disciplinary note template for this purpose.

By the end of this task you could achieve the following outcomes:

- Create a disciplinary form template
- Create a heading
- Insert tables
- Format tables
