This page supports schools in creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments for immigrant, refugee, and newcomer students and their families.

Resources focus on:

  • Student rights, enrollment practices, and family trust
  • Instructional approaches for newcomers and students with interrupted formal education
  • Trauma-informed and strengths-based school practices
  • Language access, interpretation, and culturally responsive communication

This page also includes national support networks that help schools respond when families face urgent immigration-related challenges, including Switchboard, a free national resource hub that connects immigrant and refugee families to local services, legal support, and community organizations.
