This toolkit from Generations United contains five actions for K-12 school professionals and kinship service providers to support students and caregivers in kinship/grandfamilies:
- Ensure School Enrollment Forms Explicitly Include Children Raised by Kin
- Using Enrollment Information, Welcome Each Kinship Family with Tailored Language and Materials
- Use Inclusive Language in All School Communications and Activities
- Include Children and their Grandparent and Other Kin Caregivers in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Process and in the Development of 504 Plans
- Consider Providing School-Based Supports Tailored to Kinship Families
