As schools in the United States are currently responding to growing enrollment of newcomer students, including immigrants, asylees, and refugees from all over the world, Internationals Network for Public Schools presents this Newcomer Welcome Kit curated by school leaders for school leaders.

Internationals Network has over 35 years of experience serving 10,000 multilingual learner (MLL) students in 31 schools and academies in California, the DC metro area, New Jersey, and New York. For any group of MLLs who enter Internationals Network schools, more graduate high school than their peers across the U.S. by 4% points on average. Of those graduates, more Internationals Network graduates enroll in college than their peers by more than 12%. They stay, succeed, and complete college at rates above their peers who also attend low-income, high-minority schools.

Internationals Network is well-positioned to provide guidance and growth opportunities for leaders to analyze and modify their school procedures and guide their teachers and staff to create inclusive learning environments for newcomer students. The Newcomer Welcome Kit is a companion to our explainer: Leadership for Welcoming Newcomer Students: 6 Steps to Take. The kit is divided into five sections; together, they address the need to register and enroll students appropriately, learn about Newcomer Welcome Kit By School Leaders For School Leaders REFINE REGISTRATION & ENGLISH LEARNER IDENTIFICATION PROCESSES FOSTER COLLABORATION AT ALL LEVELS OF YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY ADVOCATE FOR YOUR NEWCOMER STUDENTS ESTABLISH MEANINGFUL & ACCESSIBLE MULTILINGUAL COMMUNICATION LEARN ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS & PROVIDE TRAINING FOR A UNIFIED WELCOME MESSAGE Select any section to get started! and understand newcomers, establish accessible communication with students and families, foster meaningful collaboration at all levels of the school community, and advocate for newcomers.
