LuAnn Charles
How do I know if I should refer a student to the Family Engagement Coordinator (FEC)? Do you have learning coaches that need more support? If you feel a student's lack of engagement is due to his/her LC's abilities or struggles, LuAnn can help. Please be sure to have your LCs complete Learning Coach University before referring their student to FAST.
Cami Jo Stephenson
How do I know if I should refer a student to the Family Resource Coordinator (FRC)? Do you have a student who is homeless, in financial crisis, dealing with death or loss or a teenage pregnancy? Cami Jo will offer her support to students in these situations. Just choose the reason for your referral in the drop down next to "FRC" on the FAST tracker.
Alia Herrod
How do I know if I should refer a student to the Family Compliancy Liaison (FCL)? If you mark "Yes the student is truant" this will trigger a student to automatically be referred to Alia, who will work with the student to re-engage him/her and help resolve truancy issues. Please refer students for truancy only when they are missing 4 days or more.
