We wanted to send this information out one more time, with a few updates. Please read through it and contact Dani or Kori with any questions. Enjoy the last few visits with your mentees!

End of School Year Information

If you are a school-based match, there are a few things to note as the school year comes to an end:

Finals Visits of the Year

The last day of school is Wednesday, May 29 and there is no school on Monday, May 27. We would highly recommend having your final meeting for the school year the week of May 20.

Treats

The week of May 20th, we plan to deliver treats from The Mixing Bowl to every school before your scheduled meeting day/time for you to share with your mentee during your last visit. Please ask the secretary for your treats if they don't remember to give them to you when you arrive. If you are meeting at a day/time other than the one that was originally set up, please let your AIM contact (Kori or Dani) know when you are meeting so we can make sure to deliver your goodies to the school on time.

Summer Contact

Our board of directors has decided that school-based matches are not to exchange contact information and, therefore, to have no direct contact throughout the summer months. However, you have the option to email, mail, or text AIM with letters, updates, or pictures and we will pass those on to your mentee's parent/guardian. I am sure the kids would enjoy knowing what you are doing over the summer and that you are still thinking about them.

We will have at least one opportunity for you to see your mentee this summer. A park night is planned for Thursday, August 8th at 6:00-7:30pm. More details to come!

Match Relationship Survey

Surveys were emailed out this morning (May 13). At the end of every school year, we would like for ALL mentors to complete a match relationship survey. Every mentee will complete a similar survey before the end of the school year as well. These surveys help AIM to know the impact the relationship is having on your mentee as well as to see if there are any areas that mentors feel more training or support would be helpful. These surveys will be emailed out soon to matches who have been together longer than 3 months, so be on the lookout.
