First Class Planners and PiQ Potential are joining forces to bring planning back to where it matters most—into the hands of students. With our combined experience, resources, and shared commitment to student success, we’re making it easier than ever for schools to build strong, lasting planning habits.

 

This partnership is about more than merging two trusted brands. It’s about giving students the tools to stay focused, build confidence, and take on each day with purpose, while simplifying the process for the educators who support them.

We’re coming together with one clear goal—to make planning simple, accessible, and impactful for schools across Canada. Educators already have enough on their plates, and finding the right planning tools shouldn’t be one more challenge. That’s why this partnership brings together the best of both organizations by combining trusted expertise, a streamlined experience, and a stronger commitment to student success.

 

By uniting our strengths, we’re removing friction from the ordering process, simplifying product choices, and expanding the support available to you. Whether you're planning for a single classroom or an entire district, you’ll have access to the tools and guidance you need to make decisions quickly and confidently.

 

Less stress. More support. Better tools in the hands of students when and where they’re needed most.

Today’s students are balancing more than ever, including devices, deadlines, and distractions. Paper planning helps cut through the noise. It builds real-life skills like prioritizing, time management, and focus. These habits make daily tasks easier and life more manageable.

 

Unlike screens, paper offers a break from digital overload and creates space for clarity and reflection. It’s not just about staying organized. It’s about helping students feel more in control, confident, and prepared for whatever comes next.

We know change can raise questions, and we’re here to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Below are answers to some of the most common questions we’re hearing from educators.

 

Q: Will I still be able to order the same planners I’ve used in the past?

A:  While some planner designs and layouts may look different, the core themes you rely on, such

as Canadian, faith-based, and French, are still available. If you don’t see the exact planner

you’ve used before, rest assured that there’s a version with a similar structure and content to

meet your school’s needs.

 

Q: How will this change the ordering process for my school or district?

A:  There’s no extra work required. Your sales consultant will guide you through the process and

handle the details to ensure a smooth transition.

 

Q: Will my existing Sales Consultant or Customer Service Representative stay the same?

A:  In most cases, yes. If there’s a change, your new sales consultant may be more local and will be

fully equipped to support your account with the same level of personalized service.

 

Q: Is there a new website or platform I need to use to place my order?

A: There’s no new system to learn. Your sales consultant will provide an electronic quote for review

and digital signature. It’s quick, easy, and tailored to your school’s needs.

 

Q: Are planner designs or layouts changing?

A:  Some updates may occur, depending on which company you previously ordered from. But you’ll

still have access to familiar formats such as Canadian, faith-based, and French, plus a wider

range of new product options.

 

Q: Will there be new cover options or customization features available?

A: Yes! You’ll have access to a broader selection of cover designs and enhanced customization

features, giving your school more flexibility and creative control.

 

Q: Can I combine products from both companies into one order?

A:  Absolutely. You can now combine student planners, teacher planners, and enhancements, like

communication pouches, into a single order. It’s a simplified process, with full access to the

tools you need to set students up for success.
