Examples of Student Introductions for Teachers

Families have found it helpful to create (or have their child create) a one-page sheet about the child and their various accommodations to be able to give to teachers at the start of school. It can be formatted like a resume, with bullet points, with a focus on strengths, and skimmable so a substitute can absorb the information quickly. For younger kids, laminating a copy to stay in the backpack is an idea.
For Teachers: 7 Questions to Ask Parents at the Beginning of the Year
  1. What do you see as your child’s greatest strengths or skills? Tell me about a time when you saw your child demonstrating these skills.
  2. Next June, what do you hope your child says about his/her experience in school this year? What’s the story you hope he/she will tell?
  3. ​What was your experience like in this grade? How do you remember that year of school?
  4. What are your fears or concerns about your child in this year of school?
  5. How and when would you like me to be in touch with you this year? What do you hope I’ll communicate with you about?
  6. Is there anything else you can tell me about your child that you think would help me support his/her learning?
  7. Is there a question you hope I’ll ask you about your child?
