Student Transition Team:
  • Welcome every new student who enrolls in their school on that student’s first day.
  • Give new students a welcome packet and tour of the school with a map showing them their classes and important locations on campus.
  • Ensure new students eat lunch with someone and help them feel acclimated and comfortable.
  • Check back with new students after a few days and weeks to see how they are adjusting.
  • Host social events and meetings for new students and current members to learn about each other and build new connections.
  • Engage in school and community service projects that exemplify the core values of the program and offer students the opportunity to connect with others.
  • Educate the principal, school staff, parents, and community about the program’s mission.
  • Provide a meaningful way to say goodbye once they learn a student is moving.
  • Seek guidance from their sponsor if they notice a new student or current member is having difficulties or may need additional support.
