A NEW SCHOOL. A CLEARER HANDOFF.
Help the important things travel with the student.
Bring contacts, questions, records and the student’s priorities into one transition checklist.
Make a handoff map
- Identify the current-school contact and the receiving-school contact.
- List which records the authorized school team needs to transfer, rather than emailing everything to everyone.
- Verify dates and enrollment steps directly with the receiving school.
Prepare the first conversation
- Describe strengths, communication preferences and immediate access questions.
- Invite the student to choose what they want their new team to know.
- Track open questions about courses, transportation, support and returning to routines.
Check in after the change
- Name a person to confirm the handoff.
- Ask the student what feels settled and what still needs attention.
- Keep unresolved items active instead of marking the transition complete because paperwork moved.
