Asking Mary's parents to meet with you in your classroom after school may not be feasible if they are living in a homeless shelter. It would be more appropriate to arrange a meeting at the shelter or another location that is convenient for the family. A more effective strategy would be to enlist the aid of volunteers to provide tutoring for Mary at the shelter, as this would provide her with extra academic support and help her feel more connected to the school community. Pairing Mary with a classmate who can show her around the school and finding school supplies for her to use at the shelter are also good strategies for supporting her success in the classroom.
