REFERENCE POINTS: NCWD/Youth's Latest Guidance on Graduation Requirements Featured in National PTA Magazine

NCWD/Youth's latest article, "Graduation Requirements and Diploma Options: What Families Need to Know" is featured in the December 2010/January 2011 issue of Our Children, the National PTA Magazine. The article provides guidance for parents and families on helping students understand graduation requirements and diploma options. Families play a critical role in helping their children understand the options, define college and career goals, and choose a pathway to earning a diploma. For parents of students with disabilities, it is especially important to understand the differences between the standard diploma and any alternatives offered by the school. Read the article in English or Spanish at: http://www.ncwd-youth.info/GradReqPTA.
