This sample memo and schedule show how a Grandfriend Project might be
started. It begins with a letter describing the schedule for other staff;
typically this refers to other teachers who are sending students to
participate.
Note-This schedule and sample are from a program where an itinerant work experience coordinator visited schools on an alternate week basis. Your program may vary if you have more regular access to your students. |

To: Teachers and nursing home staff, Here is a list of start-up dates and activities. You'll notice that we will try to go every other week on __________[day]. Please communicate our schedule to the teachers students are being pulled from to participate. There must be a clear understanding if the student is responsible-or not-for make-up work (Please note that this policy will tend to vary with teachers). Also please remind the students to bring their permission forms to the first session. We have tried to alternate between classroom training and visits as we cover the training contained in the first five chapters. Visits #1 and #2 are for orientation and acclimation of the students. Visit #3 is our first person-to- person visit. Between visits #2 and #3 we had to insert an extra classroom training session in order to cover the first five chapters.
