AIEP BULLETIN - HELPFUL TIPS AND RESOURCES

As we all deal with COVID-19 situation changing day to day, AIEP would like to share some positive and informative ways to deal with the situation while our students and families are at home. AIEP Bulletin is a series of brief, regular communications that will share helpful tips and updates as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. It will include common-sense practices, updates from AIEP, information from reliable, authoritative sources such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), WHO (World Health Organization) and links to other reputable online sources.

STAY CONNECTED WITH NATURAL PARENTS

Many of our natural parents who are thousands of miles away are anxious and concerned about the safety of their child especially at this time. To help ease their minds, we hope that you can consider providing a few weekly student updates to your Local Coordinator. Suggestions include a brief text, a few photos, a one-minute video assuring them the precautions you are taking within your household, regular routines being maintained, fun family activities as playing board games/baking/cooking together and most importantly sharing that their child is OK.

WORKING TOGETHER

The success of the student and host family depends on the friendly cooperation between host family and student working together as a “family” during good and challenging times. STAY TUNED FOR MORE HELPFUL TIPS AND UPDATES TO COME…
