What is the School Authorization Form?

The School Authorization and Instructional Role Form is designed to facilitate agreements between Relay and your PK-12 school so that both parties may best support your development as a teacher. The form also supports state-specific requirements of teacher preparation programs, including requirements regarding mentor teachers. This form is completed in two parts.

• Part 1: You complete the Student portion, including your school leader's name and email address. When you click submit, an email will be sent to your school leader with a link for them to complete their portion. 

• Part 2: Your school leader then completes their section, verifying your school placement and acknowledging school responsibilities.

Note: If you have not yet secured a specific instructional position or do not know who your school leader will be, you'll complete this form once you have a position.

Deadlines:

For students enrolling in the spring 2026 session:

• Student portion due by Friday, January 23, 2026

• School leader portion due by Friday, February 6, 2026

Failure to submit both the student and school leader portions of the School Authorization and Instructional Role form will result in administrative withdrawal from Relay.
