Bruno, Bruno, your experience is very valuable when you are teaching others in your classroom. Every student needs to feel comfortable and safe for them to learn.

Best Practice in Documenting High School Verification

Best Compliance Practice: The Student File for Education Department

Once you have verified the High School Diploma or GED place a small dot on the right side of the tab. This can be done in a bright color felt pen. Just one look at the file tabs and you can see who is missing the document to make them a qualified student. This is a compliance priority.
Create a Student checklist for file documents with spaces for initials to verify that the documents are in the Student Education File.
The first document should be the High School Diploma
