About Stanley Hupfeld Academy…

We are dedicated to providing highly effective learning

opportunities for all students.

Mentoring provides the opportunity for you to

connect with a student who needs a positive adult role

model.

Scheduling – *Reading instruction occurs each day from

8:30-10:00 a.m. school wide.*Mentors should make their prearranged

visits after this block of time. *It is recommended that you try to come the

same day of the week at the same time (if possible).

*If you need to change your pre-arranged time please e-mail the teacher or call

Christy Savage.

Safety-* In order to provide a safe environment it is

essential that all visitors check in and out in the mentor notebook at the front office with each visit.

*IF a drill or alarm sounds during your visit, please

listen to the directions given over the intercom. (If you are in an outside area and we have a “lock

down” drill. Please take your child into the building immediately. If we have a fire drill, please report to

administration on the playground.)

*Drill Information will be posted in both the quiet mentor room and the active mentor room.

SAFETY FIRST!

Building the Relationship-

Connect with students by finding out about their interests and abilities.

Some ways to do this are to play a board game, a basketball game, walk the track or have lunch

together.

Mentoring MattersFocus of Time-

We encourage mentors to spend one hour per week with their mentee. At least half

of the time should be spent on an academic activity. This focus demonstrates to the student that you value their education.

Focus on

Learning!

Calling All Mentors

ideas on how to assist your mentee.* Additional materials are available in the Quiet Mentor Room.

Eagle Expectations = Positive Behaviors

Please encourage students to be responsible for their own actions. We will be working diligently

on the following expectations:

Be RespectfulBe Responsible & Be Ready to Learn

MENTOR STARSWhen students exhibit positive behavior they are

given a STAR. If your mentee exhibits these qualities you will have a special

“blue” Mentor STAR to give them. Place the student’s name on the STAR and let the child

know specifically what they did to earn the STAR.

*STARS will be available at the front office when you check-in.

(Limit one STAR for each visit. Students cannot “ask for” the STAR.)

Confidentiality-Remember, information that you may

find out about a student or their home life is confidential information.

This includes, but is not limited to, learning levels, relationship issues

and family needs.

Other Confidential Information includes:* grades, * disciplinary actions, * special education status,

* test results, * attendance records

If you have concerns about a specific incident or situation and you would like to discuss it with an adult at the school, please contact Mrs. Acers, the school counselor or the student’s classroom teacher
