Next, select the class you teach from the drop-down menu, and add appropriate comments that will be helpful for the office receiving the referral. When you are finished, click the blue Submit button.
Tip: You can issue the same referral for multiple students by selecting several students at a time, and then using the actions button to Issue Referral.
