How to Welcome New Students
Our city is growing. That means that many new students are coming to our school. We should all do our part to make them feel welcome. Here are some ways to do that.
• When a new student comes to your class, think about how you would feel if
you were in that person’s place. Be friendly and helpful.
• Ask your new classmate to eat lunch with you and your friends.
• Ask him or her to join you in activities during recess.
• Show a new student how to get to the library, the gym, and so on.
• Find out what the new student likes to do. If you know someone who likes
the same things, introduce the new student to that person.
• Respect differences. New students, like you or some of your classmates, may have come from other countries. English may be new to them. They may have studied different subjects. Show a respectful interest in them and in learning who they are.
• When you have questions, please ask your teacher or a classmate. They understand that it can be hard to come to a new school. After all, they were all new here at one time.
