There have been significant changes made to the Student Notes system in REACH+ and we have now renamed it in your class dashboard to 'Student Report'. 

This comprehensive record system pulls in key information from a students REACH+ Portfolio and organises it into separate categories for your convenience. Some of these categories include:

• Student Supports
• Education Development
• Personal Development
• Career Research
• CAO, PLC and Apprenticeship Options
• CVs
• International Study

You can input student notes in each category and also register important information at the click of a button from a list of prompts e.g. student applying for SUSI?, 'Irish Language Exemption?', 'PLC Application?' etc. 

The student report system brings everything you need for each student together in one place. It is now live in your REACH+ administration area for you to explore!
