📌 504 Plan User Guide Basics (Connect)

The 504 Application allows districts to navigate through the 504 eligibility process, including but not limited to:

• Creating the prior written notice
• Determining eligibility
• Creating the 504 plan
• Uploading files such as health plans
• Keep a communication log between parents/guardians and the school district

Permission to use the 504 Application should be given to those creating the 504 plans, such as the district 504 coordinator. Once a plan is made for a student, if the 504 widgets are turned on for the student spotlight, the 504 student information will be displayed in homeroom for that student. Suppose the 504 widgets are turned on for the teacher or specialist dashboard. In that case, 504 class information will display in homeroom for the student group, such as common accommodations that need to be implemented for your students.
