The Parent Profile for Student is a great communication tool that allows parents to share basic data about their child, as well as specific information that supports enhanced or customized learning. The Profile is very useful during transitions to new grades or a new school. It is also especially helpful for students who may require IEPs or other curriculum modifications. Educators can benefit greatly from The Profile by gaining a fund of valuable student and family knowledge that can be used to collaborate and connect families to student learning goals. The point of the tool is to ensure the centering of the child and their needs. The contents of this document are completely optional.
