Search for a service log

To help with continuity of service, you may view all service logs for any student you have access to, including other providers’ logs. Only providers who are currently assigned to a student can view the student’s logs. Please contact the student’s school administration if you do not have access to a student you are assigned to.

To search for an existing service log, follow these steps:

  1. From the Service Logs dashboard, select Search Service Logs.

  1. Select Retrieve Logs to see all your service logs, or use the filters to narrow your search by student, service location, or dates.

    Note that the Find Provider field is limited to the provider currently logged in. Admin users with access to multiple providers can filter by the providers they have access to.
