MESSAGE TO MENTORS

Start of 2023-24 School Year

DEAR MENTOR,

Week#6 Parent Involvement in Schooling

This is parent teacher conference season and the end of the first nine weeks. Be sure to ask your Site Coordinator to see an area of strength and an area for improvement in your mentee's DataLongLegs profile.

Field trip forms were sent home to guardians. If your mentee's guardian confirms their attendance, we will send you a text inviting you to join them at the field trip if you are able. We cannot guarantee that your mentee will attend even if they confirm. If you come to the field trip, please plan to stay to help the huddle. We will need you! Questions? Ask your Site Coordinator for more details.

40 DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS

Weekly Guidance on our highlighted Developmental Asset:

This week, OHuddle is highlighting the asset of "Parent Involvement in Schooling." Please read the guidance below and be sure to fill out the exit slip on your lanyard EVERY week! We use your feedback in our monthly data meeting in support of your child.

Ask your Site Coordinator about this week's optional project OR use the Neighborhood Huddle app at the left button below.

Neighborhood Huddle

40 Developmental Asset List

Did you know that your youth has a chance to leverage their weekly asset project into a prize? When kids complete 10, 20, and 40 asset projects, they can win one of three prizes.

See your Site Coordinator for details and for information about how to use the Neighborhood Huddle App OR the paper passport below to track their progress.

HUDDLE HAPPENINGS

Want to get involved outside of your regularly scheduled time? Talk to your youth about meeting at a field trip or come to an OHuddle Hour for PD around self care. These add ons are optional but a great way to expand your involvement as a mentor.

Field Trip Details

Field trips leverage the developmental assets in new places. Talk to your Site Coordinator about the benefit of inviting your youth to 2 or 3 events this year.

All field trips provide youth dinner and free opportunities or giveaways to expand their horizons.

OHuddle Hours help YOU to put your own oxygen mask on to promote adult self care. These PD and giveaway sessions are scheduled three times per year in your building.

Keep in mind, even if you are not scheduled for mentorship on an OHuddle Hour day, you are welcome to come to your building for the session and takeaway. We appreciate all you do for our students!
