Student Identity
Full legal name, date of birth, student ID, and current grade level; matches district records for verification.
A well-prepared Student School Report ensures accurate transfers, supports continuity of services (including IEP accommodations), and reduces processing delays. Complete, standardized reports lower the risk of miscommunication between schools, protect student privacy under FERPA, and make it easier to verify records for enrollment or legal purposes.
Common requestors and preparers vary by purpose but follow predictable roles within K–12 and postsecondary settings.
Identifying the correct preparer and recipient early reduces delays and ensures proper privacy safeguards are applied.
School registrars compile enrollment dates, attendance totals, course completions, and official identifiers. They are responsible for certifying accuracy, attaching supporting transcripts, and verifying any signatures or required releases before records are sent.
Parents or guardians commonly request the report and may need to provide written consent or identification. Their signature often authorizes release to another school, agency, or third party and must match registered custody records.
