oLanguage (don’t fall under stereotype that none speak English or that all speak
Spanish)
oTime & experience in country

not illegal, don’t assume one is here illegally)
Teachers: not mandated reporters in terms of immigration often do the opposite
Families:
oScared of Trump
oNot sure if they would be allowed to bring kids back with them if deported
Don’t assume anything
