Overview
Give good-luck bags: Put together a good-luck bag for all departing students that includes a thank-you letter to parents for sharing their child with the school, a wish from the staff for the student to go on to do great things, a letter of appreciation from fellow students to the departing student, and some kind of departing symbol that depicts strength, courage, and faith in the student as an individual.
Core Components

Proactive Implementation
Proactively establishing good luck bags requires knowing and building relationships with the student to gain knowledge of 1) When they are leaving & 2) what they like.
Responsive Implementation
Responsively putting together good luck bags happens when you find out a specific student or family is leaving the district and you put together a package of things that represent them at the school or they like.

Connection
If the need is connection then the bag should consist of items that are memories from the student's time at the school.
Skills Training
If the need is skill building then the creation of the bag may include a specific item where other classmates share a skill they want the student to remember.
Awareness
If the need is awareness then the student may receive cards from their classmates sharing how they made them feel.
