Newcomer students bring incredible potential, but let's be honest, remembering all the steps to welcome them into the building can feel... overwhelming! 😯

Here's the good news: We've created a FREE "Preparing for Newcomer ESL Students" Checklist to help you navigate this transition smoothly! Keep one for yourself and print more to share with other teachers or specialists the student might see!

Send me a *Direct Message* saying "Checklist" and we'll send it to you soon!
