Baby It's Cold Outside...

I'm scheduled to meet with my student, but it's supposed to snow/ sleet/ freezing rain... now what?

Image Builders will follow the closing/ cancellation direction of the school district of your student.  For late starts, please confirm with your student's teacher EVEN IF SCHOOL IS IN SESSION BY YOUR REGULAR MENTORING APPOINTMENT because the teacher may have to adjust the entire day's schedule.

If school is closed or canceled on your regularly scheduled mentoring day, feel free to contact the teacher if your schedule allows you to come on a different day that week. Often it is the time, rather than the specific day, that is inflexible for your student.

If school is in session and you are unable to meet with your student during your regular mentoring appointment, please notify the teacher ASAP. Whenever possible, please reschedule for another day that week, and apologize to your student if you have to miss your appointment completely.

Thank you for giving your time every week to someone else's child. You're making a difference by modeling behavior that demonstrates respect and professionalism for appointments and relationships of mutual respect. Thank you for teaching much more than academics!
