ESL School – Help Them Get There (Remote Welcomer) – Before Students Arrive

This role only applies before their placement into a class.

We don’t want to overwhelm either party (volunteer by having too many people to try to reach out to, nor student by getting too much contact from us)

FYI: there is an automated response via email

➡️Receive or find the current list of those who have registered

➡️Reach out

  • Differences based on time of year:
    • During normal school year: Before reaching out, wait until after they have had one opportunity to come to class, and have not come.
    • During summer: only reach out if you’re bored and available then. 🙂
    • During Fall launch season: wait until October to start doing this, if for no other reason than the Ops team has a lot to do already.
  • Via preferred contact method.
  • Content
    • Thank them for registering.
    • We missed you in class.
    • Use a simple question (assume language barrier) and ask them if they are ready to come to class. This would work: “Did you receive the welcome email?” or “When would you like to come to class?”
  • May need to use Google translate and include it along with the English.

➡️When a person opts out or is unresponsive, have database updated
