Your FIRST STEP!
It's important that you check your e-mail on a regular basis. The majority of
your coaching contact will take place through the e-mail account you have
given JEDI for contact.
You will receive contact information for your students and their
parent(s) by e-mail notifying you of the student's course approval.
You will also
use your e-mail regularly to keep in touch with the JEDI staff and your
student's teachers.
That is where you can begin.
We send coaches a COURSE NOTIFICATION LETTER
to let you know a student has been enrolled in a course you will be supervising.
The letter is sent to the student, parent, and guidance as well so everyone has
the same information.
Take a look at the sample letter below. It
contains important information for access to your student’s course.

to establish a relationship, but we suggest you ALSO send a welcome e-mail that
they can print out and save for the future. Include contact information and any
other information you feel important.
You will want to make
contact with each of your students at least ONCE per week to maintain your
relationship with each of them AND let them know you are there, watching what
they are doing and willing to assist if needed.
