Preparing for a change in school routines: school support plan
Support focus
Check a question about the next grade and choose one small step.
Example situation
Remy will move to a new grade next term. Remy knows classes will have a different schedule but has heard conflicting stories about homework, clubs, and finding rooms. A friend says everyone already knows how the new system works.
Student words or action
Ask a school contact about the actual schedule rather than treating classmates' stories as rules.
Adult response
“Which question should we check first? We can leave unknown information marked unknown.”
A supported practice
A friend says the next grade has no clubs, but no official information is available.
What should they check about the next grade?
An example response: “Where can I find the current list of clubs?”
A second practice
A student knows their new classroom number but not where it is.
What should they check about the next grade?
An example response: Ask a school adult to show the room on a school map or explain the route.
