It is optional paperwork to fill out and provide more supplemental information. Not required but permitted.


I applaud your efforts, but not your terminology. A "referral" is simply what you do if your child is not "in-pool". The optional paperwork has nothing to do with a referral. A parent can refer and still not provide any supplemental information. You're not submitting a "referral", you're submitting a "packet of information".


Since the paper is titled "referral" the terminology is correct.


And the title of the post was in quotes.

Though I didn't do much on it, I do feel good having it done.
