Hosting a Shadow: Things to Know

Thank you for hosting a shadow student today! Below are a few details for the day.

Schedule

Logistics

  • Your guest will be given a Shadow Brochure to take notes and doodle in while they are here.
    • It also has a page for your 4th period teacher to sign and for them to tell us about their day.
    • Please remind and help them to complete this section and return it to Mrs. Burdett at the end of their visit.
  • The Admissions Office will provide lunch for both you and your guest. Mrs. Burdett will give you lunch passes when you meet your guest.
  • Show your guest the restroom and drinking fountain locations.

Remember

  • Be on time!
  • You are the only person your guest “knows”, so be attentive and don’t leave him/her alone.
  • Take the time to get to know your guest! Learn about what their interests are and what makes them interested in Wheaton Academy.
  • Be prepared to share why you love WA and why you believe it could be a place for them to belong.
  • Introduce your guest to your friends and teachers while they are here.
  • Include your guest in your conversations in the hallways, classrooms and at lunch.
  • Have fun!

Thank you!
