Being a new student, especially during Covid, can be very daunting. Check out these tips to make sure new students feel welcome at your school.
- Have new students take a quick survey so you know how to help them adjust. Here is a free survey I created that you can use: click here!
- Create a social media page just for new students. When new move-ins come, give them the info so they can join and start meeting other new students.
- Use remind.com to send new students texts with inspirational quotes and motivational messages, as well as tips for staying connected at school or event information.
- Introduce them to others by pairing them with students who have the same background (military students, minority students, foreign language speakers, artists, athletes, etc.)
- Have a new student lunch. For activity ideas, see this lunch meet-up I created: click here!
- Put a reminder in your calendar to check in with them once a week for the first 2-3 weeks to make sure they are adjusting well
