Where do I look for what?

Student files at my school can come in one, two, or three different colours. Every student has a white file, but students with a designation also have a red file containing information on their designation and past and present IEPs among other documents related to their designation. Students who are English language learners have green files containing their progress reports and access to resource time. Below you will find in detail what kind of documents you will find in each file to help you navigate student files more efficiently.
