Checklist for Kinship Caregivers & Checklist for Schools Working with Kinship Caregivers

October 01, 2019

Developed by the Family Engagement Network. FEN is supported by the Department of Special Education and Student Services, VDOE (October 2019)

Two checklists are designed to support kinship caregivers and school personnel.

Checklist for Kinship Caregivers – Are you raising or providing primary care for a child or youth of a relative or family friend? This checklist is for kinship caregivers who are enrolling students and working with schools.
Checklist for Schools Working with Kinship Caregivers – Are you working with families of students living with extended family or relatives who are not their parents? This checklist is for school staff who work with kinship caregivers and clarifies key information for both the school and family.

Accessible versions of both Checklists are also available.
