A student misses someone who died and wants support at school.

Picture cards: Sit with someone · Take a quiet minute · Ask to talk

Offer a private check-in. Keep the example fictional. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Choose a quiet place or trusted adult. Say “I’m missing someone today. Can I sit here a minute?” Invite a student to try once. Read the example again if they want another try.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.

Use a private check-in and follow school support and safety procedures when a student discloses a concern.
