Student Passport is a Game-Changer for Education
Imagine getting access to information that places students with special accommodations in the correct classroom from the day they enroll. This powerful tool ensures students get the attention they need at the right time without the hassle of tracking down paperwork and without delay. That’s the power of interoperability at work through The Exchange’s newest application, Student Passport. The Student Passport application is revolutionizing the way districts and charter schools manage student enrollment information. This innovative tool facilitates the swift sharing of information that districts need to effectively enroll new students by providing a snapshot of the most pertinent information, ultimately benefiting both students and educators.
Who it helps:
Regional-level educators
Districts and charter schools
Students who require special accommodations or placement, such as:
At-risk students
Economically disadvantaged students
Gifted and talented students
Special education students
Emergent bilingual students
Homeless students
Student Passport offers:
Fast exchanges between member districts allow requests, fulfillments, and questions to all happen in one place. Educators also benefit through the increased efficiency of a digital platform that allows for faster processing, built-in notes, and notification features that create collaboration between the registrar and administration teams on campus. Student Passport gives educators the ability to track progress and empowers decision-making. It is important to note that while the Student Passport application is powerful in gleaning insights to help students, it is not meant to be a replacement for TREx.
