Letter Writing - If anyone would like to write a letter of support and encouragement for those attending Kairos we would greatly appreciate it. Here is the list of students attending Kairos. Sherry Mehring is collecting the letters. We do not collect letters for the senior leaders because they have already attended Kairos and received letters.

Please remember the letters are a surprise for students, so please don't tell them about it.

When a Student Emails You

Whenever a student, or really anyone, emails you, please make sure to respond within 24 hours. This does not mean you have to email over the weekend. If they email on Friday, please respond on Monday. 

Also, when you reply to an email or initiate an email to a student, it is a great idea to copy their counselor, especially if you are emailing with a concern. If a student emails you and you are the only adult on the email, you can always email them. back and copy their counselor.
