School information should be kept for every member of your family. For adults school information may include transcripts, photocopy or original copy of degrees and diplomas, awards, clippings from newspapers, etc.
For children you will want to keep a copy of their immunization record, their report cards, IEPs, list of schools that they have attended, and any forms and documents that have been sent home with your child.
Work
The work folder will only apply to the people in your family who have held a paid or unpaid position. The purpose of this folder is to provide you with a history of your work experience. This folder may also be started for children as a way to develop their resume.
Included in the child’s work folder may be summer jobs such as mowing lawns or babysitting, and later include volunteer work or participation in family businesses. This will help children remember what they have done in the past, and it will help them get a job once they turn 16.
For adults this folder can be used to retrieve work experience and training information in order to apply for a new job or to apply for a better job in their current company. Adults should keep detailed information about their past employers including the company’s name, address, phone number, website, and contact information, as well as what position they held, what their main duties were, and how long they worked there. Adults will also want to keep their training information in this folder including seminar and CPE information.
