Supporting Documents

The Supporting Documents feature allows districts to upload district-created forms or other PDF documents into the SuccessEd application. Supporting documents can be saved individually or included as part of a form set within any SuccessEd program (Special Education, Section 504, EL, or MTSS).

Each supporting document:

  • Allows optional signatures
  • Includes a customizable form title
  • Can be tracked in reporting (such as the “Students by Form” report)

Districts are encouraged to customize supporting document titles using the Shared Lists feature. Customized titles improve reporting accuracy and allow staff to filter reports based on specific document types created for students.

  1. Open the appropriate program (SpEd, 504, EL, or MTSS).
