PURPOSE
This memorandum sets out for school boards 1 and schools new requirements for transition plans for
students with special education needs from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
Effective transition planning is important. Individualized transition plans that reflect a student’s
strengths and needs provide the foundation for successful transitional experiences that support the
building of student resiliency. Articulating student transition needs can also be a valuable component of
developing an individual student profile. It is expected that the implementation of the requirements set
out in this memorandum will result in continuity of programs and services for students with special
education needs and will support improved student achievement and well-being.
