Contact your child's school to find out what types of records will be available to you, where they are kept and whom you will need to contact to request copies of them. Be mindful that records may be held in different locations, so it may be necessary to contact more than one records custodian.
Contact the appropriate records custodian(s) and ask what the applicable rules, policies and procedures are for obtaining copies of a student's educational records. Request clarification of any information is not clear to you. Ask any questions you may have about the process. Inquire about the exact wording you will need to use to obtain copies of all of the records you want.
Follow the school's or district's rules for obtaining copies of the student educational records you need to the letter. This may involve visiting the records office in person, filling out forms or writing a letter to request the records. Double-check any documents you have to prepare to make sure you haven't overlooked or omitted any requisite information.
