School started this week and a new student showed up who is from Japan, is in the third grade and speaks no English. He has cried and refused to go to class everyday. HIs mother stayed part of one day and when she left he ran after her, Dad came another day similar scenario, one day we found a volunteer interpreter and he stayed most of the day but she is not always available, we have designed specific non-language activities to include him, but after a week is still totally stressed and freaked out about coming to school. Creative positive ideas welcome.

Additional Details
The student will not even come into the classroom though. HE has spent everyday but one in the office or in the courtyard.
